== == Traditionally, it was made from nitroglycerin, diatomacious earth, and sodium bicarbonate. Modern dynamite, or "ammonia dynamite" uses the high explosive ammonium nitrate instead of diatomacious earth.

Dynamite is an improvement on straight nitroglycerin because it does not usually have the problems with freezing (nitroglycerin is very dangerous to thaw), it is solid instead of liquid (therefor easier to handle), and it is cheaper than straight nitroglycerin.

== == == == Dynamite is not used in industry as other high explosives such as ANFO (blasting), PETN (shaped charges, demolition), and Semtex (demolition)

If you've ever been to Wisconsin, or someplace with a lot of rocky Hills, you'd notice that they have roads going through rock hills. Those aren't separated naturally, so they need Dynamite to get certain objects out of the way :)
