'''Explosive''' is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

An '''explosion''' is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. An explosion creates a shock wave.

==Types of Explosives==
There are two types of explosives: [[low explosives]] and [[high explosives]]. Low explosives, or propellants, burn at subsonic speeds. High explosives detonate at supersonic speeds.

===Low Explosives===
Low explosives are a type of explosive that deflagrates (burns) rather than detonating. Examples include [[gunpowder]], [[smokeless powder]], and [[flash powder]].

===High Explosives===
High explosives, upon initiation, function by detonation, a rapid decomposition (explosion) of the material caused by a shock wave moving through the product at a rate faster than the speed of sound. Examples include [[dynamite]], [[C-4 (explosive)|C-4]], and [[TNT]].

==Uses of Explosives==
Explosives are used in a variety of applications including [[mining]], [[demolition]], [[military]] uses, [[fireworks]], and [[propulsion]].

==Safety and Handling==
Handling explosives can be dangerous, especially if the explosive is accidentally detonated. Proper safety measures, including the use of [[Personal Protective Equipment|PPE]], should be taken when handling explosives.
