Gasses in the atmosphere are given some energy (activation energy), this energy is used for the activation of the explosion. As a few gas particles react, they then have higher energy and as they collide into other air particles it causes them to react. This happens rapidly and thus an explosion occurs. I think. Think of it as an exothermic reaction, but uncontroled.

How does natural gas explode?

Natural gas can explode when it is exposed to a spark or open flame in the presence of oxygen. The gas ignites and rapidly burns, creating a sudden increase in pressure that leads to an explosion. Leaks in gas lines or equipment, improper installation, or faulty appliances can all contribute to the risk of a natural gas explosion.
