FranLow explosives deflagrate (burn) at a subsonic speed, while high explosives detonate at a supersonic speed, resulting in a shock wave. Low explosives are slower and less powerful, often used in fireworks and pyrotechnics, while high explosives are faster and more powerful, commonly used in military and mining applications.

What are the high atmospheric pressure areas differences between high and low pressure areas?
i do't no
Does low silica magma cause explosive volcanic eruptions?
Not usually. Explosive eruptions are more often to magma with high or moderate silica levels.
Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?
Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.
Which of the following properties minimizes the differences between an ideal gas and a real gas?
High temperature and low pressure minimize the differences between an ideal gas and a real gas, because at these conditions the behavior of a real gas approaches that of an ideal gas.
What kind of eription is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcan?
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
