The collective effects of supernova (SN) explosions in the nucleus of a starburst galaxy are studied. It is shown that a large wind bubble with the size of a few hundred parsecs in the nucleus of a starburst galaxy will expand for SN explosion rates of 0.1 per year or greater. The bubble gradually elongates due to density stratification. Finally, the shell breaks near the top and the hot matter flows through the cylindrical shell up to 1-2 kpc above the disk plane. We will discuss the X-ray emission in the halos of galaxies such as M82 and NGC 253 and the distribution of molecular gas in such galaxies in relation to the starburst phenomenon.
