Why must dynamite be detonated before it will explode?
It's destructive the same way any other explosive is destructive. A chemical reaction triggers the explosive material, resulting in it exploding, violently destroying anything or anyone who happens to be nearby. What separates dynamite from other explosives is how sensitive dynamite is. Less sensitive explosives like TNT will only explode if it is triggered by a remote button or trigger, whereas dynamite can easily explode if you mishandle it. This is why most militaries have abandoned dynamite in favor of TNT.

Depends on how you define "most explosive".

Dynamite ingredients include nitroglycerin, diatomaceous earth and tubes--usually waxed paper tubes--to hold the explosive.
