From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An explosion is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. An explosion creates a shock wave. If the shock wave is a supersonic detonation, then the source of the blast is called a "high explosive". Subsonic shock waves are created by low explosives through the slower burning process known as deflagration. CausesNaturalExplosions can occur in nature. Most natural explosions arise from volcanic processes of various sorts. Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when magma rising from below has much dissolved gas in it; the reduction of pressure as the magma rises causes the gas to bubble out of solution, resulting in a rapid increase in volume. Explosions also occur as a result of impact events. Explosions can also occur outside of Earth in the universe in events such as supernova. Explosions frequently occur during Bushfires in Eucalyptus forests where the volatile oils in the tree tops suddenly combust. From Wikipedia under the

Scientific studies show that volcanic explosions as well as meteorite explosions have affected the global climate. I believe that the atomic bomb exlosions of wolrd war - II, and the atomic bomb testings in the Pacific have also greatly contributed to the present global warming. I still have to hear from research studies and view from tv documentaries of National Geography and Discovery Channels on the extend of atomic bomb explosions have contributed to global warming.

Volcanic ash or nuclear fallout can block the sun's rays, causing the temperature to get COLDER. Nice thinking though.

Nothing will for that price unless you find one used on eBay at auction. Otherwise, your best value will be found at PartsExpress.com. Put subwoofers in the search there, and pick the largest powered sub you can find in your price range. Just to give you a rule of thumb, no powered subwoofer will under 10" will give you what you want. Happy listening!
