One explosive agent that is not used in the manufacture of high-yield explosives is baking soda. Ingredients commonly used in high-yield explosives include chemicals like nitroglycerin, ammonium nitrate, and TNT.
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.
"Dial-a-yield," or Variable Yield, is a method of adjusting the yield of a nuclear weapon through various means. While most modern high-energy weapons are thermonuclear, both fission and thermonuclear weapons can have their yield adjusted. In a boosted fission weapon (which can also be the primary to a staged radiation implosion weapon), the yield can be adjusted by changing the amount of deuterium/tritium gas that is injected into the plutonium pit, or by the timing of the external neutron initiator, or both. In a staged weapon, causing the secondary to not ignite by adjusting the yield of the primary (see above), or blocking the radiation channel in some way, can also change the yield of the weapon.
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.

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.
One of the strongest explosive materials known to man is Octanitrocubane, which has a higher explosive yield than traditional explosives like TNT or RDX. However, due to its high sensitivity and difficulty in handling, it is not widely used.
There are high yield analyst jobs, high yield trading assistants, and careers that specialize in the sales of high yield securities. Furthermore a career in capital markets would be a rewarding career that offers high yield savings.
CBIRF stands for Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, and the Marines and Sailors there respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) incidents.
Operation Grapple Y was detonated off Christmas Island on 28 April 1958 with an explosive yield of around 3 megatons.
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.
The most powerful nuclear explosive device ever built was the USSR's Tsar Bomba (casing shown above), designed for a yield of 100 megatons and tested October 30, 1961 above the Novaya Zemlya archipelago at Sukhoy Nos at a reduced yield of just over 50 megatons. Only the one was built. No modern nuclear explosive currently fielded has a yield above about 300 kilotons.
