that从句成分分析

请问老师,that从句是定语从句修饰an explosion吗?为什么放在最后面呢?还是说定语从句修饰前面整个发生的事情an explosion would have undoubtedly occurred,有这样的用法吗?

If the flames had reached these, an explosion would have undoubtedly occurred that might have started a fire large enough to wipe out the entire district.

是的,that从句为an explosion的限制性定语从句,由于定语从句很长,而主句的谓语部分相对较短,把定语从句后移到谓语动词之后,这种修饰称为分隔修饰。这样做的目的还是为了避免句子主语过长,即所谓头重脚轻。
