    The large quantities of powdered, combustible materials in silos and coal mines would equate to a higher concentration of materials and technically, a higher surface area. Coincidentally, these places often harbor higher temperatures, increasing the collision frequency. With these three factors combined, there would be an increased reaction rate and this case, a quicker rate for the combustible materials to be released in the form explosions.
