it was created because nitroglycerine, its predecessor, was too unstable and had destroyed a lot of stuff. for example, it was brought to mines and work sites by train, but more often than not the stuff blew the train up. dynamite is basically nitroglycerine mixed with diatomaceous earth (soil made of the dead bodies of unicellular organisms called diatoms) so its a lot more stable.

∙ 12y agoDynamite was originally made from nitroglycerin absorbed into diatomaceous earth, sawdust, or other material, then formed into round cylinders (sticks), a standard size being 20 centimeters by 2.5 centimeters. A more common and safer modern form of dynamite resembles cordite, and is made from nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, and a little ketone.
