what do explosions produce

### Shrapnel, shock wave, heat

## Step1: Identify the primary products of an explosion### Explosions primarily produce shrapnel, which are small pieces of metal and other materials that are blasted out from the explosion site.## Step2: Recognize the secondary products of an explosion### In addition to shrapnel, explosions also produce a shock wave, which is a rapid expansion of air particles that moves outward from the explosion site at high speeds.## Step3: Acknowledge the thermal effect of an explosion### Explosions generate heat due to the chemical reactions that occur during the explosion, which release a significant amount of thermal energy.
