explosions

An explosion is a rapid release of energy that generates a sudden, powerful force, often producing heat, light, sound, and expanding gases. This occurs when a chemical or physical reaction happens quickly, causing the surrounding material to expand or rupture swiftly. Common examples include fireworks, bombs, and breaking a sealed container. The rapid expansion of gases pushes outward at high speed, creating shockwaves and intense pressure. Explosions are characterized by their ability to deliver a sudden, intense burst of energy, making them significantly different from slow or gradual processes.
