Explosion

An explosion is a rapid release of energy that produces a sudden and intense increase in pressure, temperature, and often light, sound, or both. This rapid expansion of gases can result from chemical reactions, such as detonating explosives or combustion, or physical processes like a collapsing vessel. The force of an explosion can cause damage to nearby structures or the environment. Essentially, it’s an energetic event where energy is released quickly enough to create a powerful shockwave and other observable effects.
