Forensic Science Exam 3
Fire correct answersrapid oxidation with evolution of heat and light
explosion correct answerssudden cohesion of potential energy, chemical or
mechanical, into kinetic energy, with the production of and release of gases
under pressure.
High-Order Explosion correct answersa rapid pressure rise or high force
explosion characterized by shattering the confining structure or
container
Low-Order Explosion correct answersa slow rate of pressurization or low
force explosion characterized by a pushing or dislodging the confining
structure or container
