An explosion is generated by a violent release of energy.
An explosion is what occurs when a certain dose of energy that was trapped in a small space is violently released, generating a sudden increase in pressure and causing luminosity, gas and heat to be released. Explosions usually include a loud noise and the destruction of the container that contained the energy, which can be of thermal, nuclear or chemical origin.
For example: "The explosion at the refinery left two people dead and a dozen injured" , "When we heard the explosion, we all threw ourselves on the ground and tried to protect ourselves" , "Most of the soldiers were sleeping when an explosion shook the night" , "Be careful: an engine failure could cause an explosion" .
Effects of an explosion
The explosion - a term from the Latin explosio - usually generates destructive consequences that transcend the exact place where the release of energy occurred. This is due to the waves caused by detonation or underlying pressure dissimilarities. A bomb that explodes in a building can destroy adjacent buildings and break the windows of surrounding houses.
The Tsar Bomb generated the most powerful explosion produced by man in all of history. This hydrogen fusion bomb was detonated by Russia in 1961 and released a yield of between 50 and 57 megatons . This detonation was carried out for scientific purposes on the New Zealand archipelago, in the Arctic Ocean .
In March 2011 , Japan suffered an earthquake followed by a ferocious tsunami off the northwest coast. As a result of this catastrophe, a fifth of the nuclear plants responsible for supplying electricity to the country were forced to cease operations. However, all precautions were insufficient, given that an explosion at the Fukushima plant endangered the Japanese population and affected the area in which the core was contained.
Explosions can cause various damages.
Other uses of the term
The concept of explosion also has several symbolic uses. The spontaneous or surprising development of something and the violent expression of a mood are also known as explosions: "The leaders expect a tennis explosion in the coming years thanks to the historic performances of Michael Reojal," "The governor's words generated a explosion of joy among the neighbors .
Anger explosions are common phenomena in many people, although particularly surprising for those who do not suffer from them. They are usually associated with unjustified violence, with an unpleasant personality, or simply reduced to emotional or professional dissatisfaction. However, to understand the causes of a spontaneous and seemingly meaningless attack of aggression, it is necessary to go to the roots of the individual and carefully analyze his or her childhood .
Many times, the reasons for a person's emotional instability are found in events that went unnoticed by their family, but that left a wound that has not healed since. Abuse, in all its harmful forms, is the most common source of this type of personality, who tends to accumulate anger at a much higher rate than is considered normal, for issues that do not affect others, but that respond to a pattern that It is related to the traumatizing events of his first years of life.
Although each individual perceives the world and the events around him in a particular way, which invalidates the precision of an example, it could be said that a man whose mother has beaten him repeatedly and violently throughout his childhood does not can calmly process the image of a woman scolding her child, even when the reprimand does not include physical aggression ; If then this picture were presented to him in a public space, according to the degree of knowledge and self-control that the person in question has over himself, it is possible that he would pounce on the lady and attack her, to the surprise of the witnesses.
