What is the differences on implosion vs. Explosion?

Answer 1

implosion moves INWARD
Explosion moves OUTWARD

think of it as when you see them blow up a building (legally) and it all folds down onto itself just collapsing to the floor thats implosion.

Answer 2

In an implosion, something collapses in on itself. In an explosion, something bursts out into the surrounding area.

You can use a balloon as an example of each. Blow air into the balloon. As the balloon fills with air, it stretches and the walls become tight. If you allow the air to come back out, it implodes; it collapses in on itself. If you blow air into the balloon again, but don't stop, the balloon will burst. This is an explosion. The air inside ruptures the walls and violently escapes into the surrounding area.

Another example of an implosion can be seen using a vacuum sealer and a pop can. Many of these sealers have a hose which allows you to seal jars. Put the end of the hose in the pop can and seal it up with duct tape. Turn the sealer on. As the air is removed from the can, the can will begin to collapse in on itself. This is a slow, controlled implosion.

Answer 3

The Explosion is when the energy is released outwards like with fireworks or bombs but an implosion happens when lets say a submarine is crushed by the pressure of the ocean the pressure is so great that it gets crushed like an aluminum can.

Answer 4

an implosion is when explosives are put inside an enclosed area such as building to implode or bring it down in a contained area....an explosion is when an explosive is let off in the open...or an accident or something such as chemicals reacting.....cause a high velocity explosion that may contain sonic booms....alot of fire...and shrapnel

Answer 5

I think...implosion is when the inward pressure (i.e pressure moving toward the center) is stronger than the outward pressure (i.e. pressure moving outwards from center), and explosion is when the outward pressure is stronger than the inward pressure (e.g. lightbulb would implode because the inside is a vacuum, and the air pressure outside is stronger. Hope that helps.
