Implode is when objects collapse and are destroyed in the process. Implosion usually involves a difference between lower and higher pressure, or inward and outward forces, that is so large or heavy that the structure collapses inwards into itself.

That can happen if the outside pressure is greater than the inside pressure, and the object isn't strong enough to stand the pressure. For example, if a submarine goes down too deep into the ocean - depending on the strength of the submarine's walls.

Something will implode if the pressure on it is more than it can withstand. For example:

Heat a container with a little bit of water in it until the water turns to steam. Seal the container and then quickly - but very carefully - immerse the whole container in cold water. This will cause the steam inside to condense to water. The water occupies much less space so there will be a partial vacuum inside the container. Outside, there is still atmospheric pressure and this will cause the container to implode. Note, that pressure cookers are designed to withstand such pressure.
