"Detonation" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Detonation refers to a sudden and violent reaction of a gas or vapor with air, often resulting in a explosion. It is a rapid and exothermic combustion process that releases a large amount of energy rapidly, often accompanied by a loud noise, shockwave, and bright light. Detonation can occur naturally, such as in the ignition of gases in a mine or optical fiber, or it can be intentionally triggered by various means, such as in the manufacture of explosives. In general, detonation is a significant release of energy in a very short period of time, often resulting in destructive consequences.
