Do mines detonate by explosives

A land-mine can be set off by an adjacent explosion because the explosive equals the ground pressure necessary to initiate the triggering device if it is pressure related . (Some mines are command-detonated by remote control using an electrical trigger .)

What are exploding underwater bombs is?

Exploding underwater bombs, often referred to as naval mines or underwater explosives, are devices designed to detonate when triggered by contact, pressure, or proximity to a target, such as a ship or submarine. They can be used in military operations to deny access to certain waters or to damage enemy vessels. These explosives can vary in size and complexity, from simple, anchored mines to sophisticated systems with remote detonation capabilities. Their deployment is typically intended to disrupt maritime operations and enhance naval warfare strategies.


The three categories of explosives are?

The three categories of explosives are: high explosives, including dynamite and TNT, which detonate with a supersonic shockwave; low explosives, such as black powder and gunpowder, which deflagrate with a subsonic burn rate; and secondary explosives, like RDX and PETN, which are more powerful and sensitive than primary explosives like TNT.


How does explosives detonate?

Explosives detonate when they are rapidly transformed from a solid or liquid state into a hot, high-pressure gas. This sudden release of energy causes a shock wave that propagates rapidly through the material, resulting in a violent disruption of the surrounding environment. The initiation of the explosive reaction can be triggered by various means, such as heat, friction, or impact.

What are the three categories of explosives?

Primary and secondary explosives. The definitions of these are rather loose, however typically primary explosives will detonate when ignited (example: mercury fulkminate), and secondary explosives require a shockewave to detonate (example: TNT). The most accurate definition is when used in the context of an "explosive train" whereby a fuse ignites the primary high explosive which undergoes deflagration to detonation transition, this detonation produces a shockwave which is used to initiate a secondary high explosive. So explosive compounds are classified into primary or secondary based there primary use.
