The effects of a high explosive are typically described using terms such as "blast," "shrapnel," and "shock wave." The "blast" refers to the rapid expansion of gases that creates a powerful wave of pressure, while "shrapnel" pertains to the fragments produced by the explosion that can cause injury or damage. The "shock wave" is the sudden change in pressure that travels through the air, resulting in destructive forces on nearby structures and individuals. These effects can vary based on the explosive's composition and the surrounding environment.
Felsic magma. This type of magma is viscous with high silica content, resulting in explosive eruptions and the formation of light-colored rocks.
Highly explosive volcanoes tend to have thick and viscous magma with high silica content. This type of magma traps gases, leading to pressure buildup and explosive eruptions. Examples of explosive volcanoes include stratovolcanoes like Mount St. Helens.
Magma that tends to cause explosive eruptions is typically high in silica content, making it thick and viscous. This results in gas build-up and pressure within the magma chamber, leading to explosive eruptions.
The full form of RDX is Research Department Explosive. RDX is a powerful high explosive often used in military applications such as bombs and missiles.
RDX, an acronym for Research Department Explosive, is an explosive nitro amine widely used in military and industrial applications. It is also known less commonly as cyclonite, hexogen (particularly in German and German-influenced languages), and T4. Its chemical name is cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine; variants include cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine and cyclotrimethylene trinitramine.
A low explosive typically produces a subsonic shock wave upon detonation, resulting in a slower and less powerful explosion compared to high explosives. Low explosives are often used in pyrotechnics, fireworks, and propellants due to their controlled burn rate and less destructive capabilities.
An explosion or an explosive reaction.
C-4 is classified as a high explosive due to its rapid rate of decomposition and high energy release. It is commonly used in military applications due to its destructive power.

No, a blasting cap is not a high explosive itself, but rather a small explosive device used to trigger a larger explosive charge. Blasting caps are sensitive explosives designed to initiate a controlled detonation in high explosives like dynamite or other blasting agents.
High Explosive - 1943 is rated/received certificates of: USA:Approved USA:Passed (National Board of Review)
High Explosive, generally meaning that the projectile is packed with TNT or other explosive material.
Yes. It is a high explosive.
Banjo Paterson wrote the poem "High Explosive" in 1917 during World War I.
One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
No, tungsten is not an explosive material. It is a hard and dense metal known for its high melting point and durability.
Felsic magma. This type of magma is viscous with high silica content, resulting in explosive eruptions and the formation of light-colored rocks.
