An explosion is a large expansion in which energy is transmitted outward as a shock wave. If a sealed glass bottle was to explode, what likely was the change in pressure that caused this?

1 answer

If a sealed glass bottle were to explode, the likely change in pressure that caused this is a sudden increase in pressure inside the bottle, beyond its capacity to withstand. This increase in pressure could be due to various reasons, such as a build-up of gas or vapor inside the bottle, a rapid increase in temperature, or a combination of both.
