{{Main|Deflagration}}
In deflagration, decomposition of the explosive material is propagated by a flame front which moves relatively slowly through the explosive material, {{em|i.e.}} at speeds less than the speed of sound within the substance (which is usually still higher than 340&nbsp;m/s or {{convert|340|m/s|km/h|-1|disp=out}} in most liquid or solid materials)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chem-page.de/publikationen/geschichte-der-sprengstoffe/195-2-wie-unterscheiden-sich-deflagration-detonation-und-explosion.html |access-date=2017-02-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206104750/http://www.chem-page.de/publikationen/geschichte-der-sprengstoffe/195-2-wie-unterscheiden-sich-deflagration-detonation-und-explosion.html |archive-date=6 February 2017 |df=dmy-all |title=2.1 Deflagration |language=de |website=chem-page.de}}</ref> in contrast to detonation, which occurs at speeds greater than the speed of sound.
