Detonation

Okay, so do you know what happens when you light a firecracker or a balloon filled with air and then pop it with a pin? It makes a loud sound, right?

Well, that sound is called a "detonation". It's basically a really big explosion that happens very quickly.

When things explode, they release a lot of energy. This energy is in the form of heat and gas, and it can cause damage to things around it.

Detonations can happen for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes people intentionally set off explosives, like fireworks or grenades. Other times, detonations happen accidentally, like when a gas tank explodes in a car crash.

Overall, detonations can be very dangerous and can cause a lot of destruction, so it's important to stay away from things that could potentially explode.
