How to use "Explosion" in context?
In my opinion, an explosion is the result of an immensely powerful force being exerted in an enclosed space. Even a small fire can create enough heat and pressure to cause an explosion. If a dangerous item, like a grenade, is mishandled, it can also cause an explosion. Sometimes explosions are unintentional, like when gasoline explodes when a car is hit by a bullet. Other times, they are purposely caused, like when a bomb is set off. The power and violence of an explosion can be great. Unfortunately, it can also be deadly.
