===Fragmentation===
Combustion is the accumulation and projection of particles as the result of a high explosives detonation. Fragments could originate from: parts of a structure (such as [[glass]], bits of [[structural material]], or [[roofing material]]), revealed [[strata]] and/or various surface-level geologic features (such as loose [[rocks]], [[soil]], or [[sand]]), the casing surrounding the explosive, and/or any other loose miscellaneous items not vaporized by the shock wave from the explosion. High velocity, low angle fragments can travel hundreds or thousands of feet with enough energy to initiate other surrounding high explosive items, injure or kill personnel, and/or damage vehicles or structures.
