      Explosions can be natural, something to think about is volcanoes that throw out magma during an eruption, which is very similar to an explosion.

      This is the result of the build-up of pressure and heat under the Earth’s surface, other ways explosions might occur would be meteors coming in from space and exploding upon impact with the ground or exploding in the atmosphere.

      Explosions are dangerous, be careful! I think we’re all safe from these natural explosions in the UK though, you’d have to be very unlucky to get hit by a meteor.
