Abstract from DBPedia
    An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Supersonic explosions created by high explosives are known as detonations and travel through shock waves. Subsonic explosions are created by low explosives through a slower combustion process known as deflagration.

    爆発（ばくはつ、英: explosion）とは、圧力の急激な発生もしくは解放の結果、熱・光・音などおよび破壊作用を伴う現象。
