What does ANFO stand for?
Read The Third Day, The Frost. By John Marsden.
Does low silica magma cause explosive volcanic eruptions?
Not usually. Explosive eruptions are more often to magma with high or moderate silica levels.
What kind of eription is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcan?
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
How much does ANFO cost per pound?
Average ANFO cost in the US is $.48 cents per pound if bought in bulk.
What are the two factors the control whether a volcano eruption will be explosive or quiet?
The two main factors that control whether a volcano eruption will be explosive or quiet are the viscosity of the magma and the presence of dissolved gases. High viscosity magma (thick and sticky) and high gas content tend to result in explosive eruptions, whereas low viscosity magma (thin and runny) and low gas content lead to quiet eruptions.
Low yield explosives cause low or less damaging explosions and rarely injure people true or false?
False.... The Oklahoma City bombings utilized a "low yield" explosive (ANFO) which is typically used in mining to move material. A 'high" explosive, like dynamite, is used to blast and fracture material.
How are explosive classified?
Explosives are classified by their sensitivity, energy output, and chemical composition. They can be grouped into categories such as high explosives (e.g., TNT, C4), low explosives (e.g., black powder, fireworks), and blasting agents (e.g., ANFO). These categories are further divided based on their intended use and potential hazards.
How many joules for 1 gram anfo?
A gram of ANFO explosive yields about 6300 Joules of energy. The value is usually expressed as 6.3 MJ/kg.
Can ANFO be detonated by too much pressure or by shock?
No, it can't be detonated without an explosive.
Is it safe and legal to make ANFO?
It is legal in some places to make ANFO if you have the necessary permits and follow safety regulations. However, ANFO is a high explosive that can be dangerous to make and handle due to its sensitivity to ignition and shock. It is recommended to purchase ANFO from licensed suppliers rather than attempting to make it yourself.
What is high explosive?
A high explosive is a chemical or mixture that undergoes detonation and has a high detonation wave speed (in the thousands of feet per second). Some examples of high explosives are nitroglycerine, dynamite, TNT, ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), torpex, composition B, C-4, fuel-air explosive, RDX, baratol, amatol, nitrogen triiodide, Mercury fulminate, sodium azide, etc. Note: Blackpowder is not a high explosive but the US DOT classifies it as a high explosive solely due to the ease with which it can be accidentally ignited. Other low explosives are not so easily ignited so the US DOT classifies them as what they actually are. Blackpowder and other low explosives undergo deflagration (not detonation) and only burn very rapidly (never forming a detonation wave in the material).

What is Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil Explosive?
I only know of it being either a fertilizer used in agriculture or explosive used in mining. I believe they both look similar (small round balls) but are of different grades with the mining grade being more refined and expensive. The mixture is an emulsion similar in character to mayonaise. It requires a high explosive detonator to realy the potential energy. The AN for explosives is called "prill" and only differs from the fertilizer by be manufactured to make the surface porous so the Fuel Oil can become intergarated intothe structure of the prill for increased explosive power.
What does Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil mixed together produce?
The mixture is referred to as ANFO. The explosive mixture is widely used in the mining and heavy construction industry. A hiogh expllosive detinator is required to get the mixture to release it's potential energy.
