The answer is Dynamite. Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. Chemical explosives are of two types; detonating, or high explosives and deflagrating, or low, explosives. Detonating explosives, such as TNT and dynamite, are characterized by extremely rapid decomposition and development of high pressure, whereas deflagrating explosives, such as black and smokeless powders, involve merely fast burning and produce relatively low pressures.
