Soap Bubble and surface tension

[omri3012]

I read to today that soap bubbles explodes due to surface tension regardless of
other forces experienced on the bubble.

how does surface tension does that? does it "drive" the bubble to go larger until it explodes?

Thanks,
Omri

As air rises, it expands, so boom.
Liquids are fluid, and live in a fluid atmosphere with gravity, so boom.
Bubble films are thin and have low surface tension, so boom.
