Seed dispersal by explosion occurs when seeds are ejected from a plant due to internal pressure buildup or mechanical tension. This method is often seen in plants like the touch-me-not (Mimosa) and the squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium), where the seed pods burst open suddenly. The force of the explosion propels the seeds away from the parent plant, allowing them to spread over a wider area and reducing competition for resources. Such explosive mechanisms are often adapted to ensure successful germination in suitable habitats.
Seeds disperse to increase the chances of successful germination and to avoid competition with other plants for resources. Dispersal methods can vary and include wind, water, animals, or self-dispersal mechanisms. This helps seeds to find suitable habitats for growth and spread across a wider area.
One disadvantage of explosion seed dispersal is that it can limit the distance that seeds can travel compared to other dispersal methods. Additionally, the energy required for the explosion mechanism can be costly for the plant in terms of resources. Lastly, seeds dispersed by explosion may not always land in suitable habitats for germination and growth.

IN WHAT WAY ACACIA SEED DISPERSED
wind flood animals explosion
The two main dispersals of English are the colonial dispersal, which spread English through colonization and trade, and the linguistic dispersal, which includes the spread of English through media, technology, and global communication.
Explosion is when the pericarp of the seeds dry out, warp and create tension and then explode, shooting out the seeds. Water is when a seed makes it in to the water and it carried until it's washed ashore most likely in a different location from where it first originated. then, if it reaches a suitable environment, it may germinate
its dispersed by explosion im doing this for my homework thats how i know
Yes, grass does have seeds. Grass seeds are dispersed through various methods such as wind, water, animals, and human activities.
