It is the detonator or fuse which is attached to the shell! sometimes some delays after explosions are made with help of binders or delay fuses.

what causes a star to explode as a supernova?
Either somebody shoots at the star. Or kills the star turning it into a supernova.
How do fireworks explode?
A flame reaches a small container of gunpowder. The gunpowder ignites, releasing large amounts of energy. This causes the molecules in the gas which the combustion of gunpowder produces to move faster. Pressure increases until the container bursts open. Air around it is pushed away as white hot gas escapes in a flash of light, causing ripples of air to spread out from the firework. It is these ripples that the ear hears as sound.
What cause the flint in light to explode like a firework?
It doesn't explode it sparks rigid metal(notched metal) causes flint to spark when hit
How does catalyst affect the activation energy of chemical reaction?
The presence of a catalyst affects the activation energy of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, helping the reaction go faster and making it so the reaction does not have to use as much energy to fulfill the products.
When cell signaling causes a response in the nucleus what happens?
There is an activation of a specific gene by a growth factor.
A campfire is started by a lit match The match provides?
All of theseIt produces enzymes, provides activation energy,& causes catalysis.
How does gas explode?
Gasses in the atmosphere are given some energy (activation energy), this energy is used for the activation of the explosion. As a few gas particles react, they then have higher energy and as they collide into other air particles it causes them to react. This happens rapidly and thus an explosion occurs. I think. Think of it as an exothermic reaction, but uncontroled.
How can you learn more about the chemistry of fireworks?
If you are looking for information on the chemistry of fireworks then you should go online to the Chemistry website. It offers information on how fireworks work and what causes them to look different.

You may normally expect a slow reaction if a low activation energy is required?
Explain why a high energy of activation causes a reaction to be slow?
What causes a rapid change to land forms?
Activation of a fault during an earthquake.
What is true low pressure with a tornado causes building to explode?
No, low pressure in a tornado does not cause buildings to explode. That is a common myth.
