Explosives in low oxygen

Post by Jesse82 »

I’m writing a work of fiction and was wondering the physics regarding explosives like dynamite on mars for the purpose of excavation. Would explosives like that even work without oxygen? Any thoughts?

The Ask the Expert forums are for students (and their parents and teachers) who are working on hands-on science projects. There are other sites on the internet where your questions would be more appropriate.

Thanks,
