# ST_SubDivideExplode
Introduction: It works the same as ST_SubDivide but returns new rows with geometries instead of list.
A minimum of 5 vertices is required for maxVertices parameter to form a closed box.
![ST_SubDivideExplode](../../../image/ST_SubDivide/ST_SubDivide.svg "ST_SubDivideExplode")
Format: `ST_SubDivideExplode(geom: Geometry, maxVertices: Integer)`
Return type: `Geometry`
Since: `v1.1.0`
SQL Example
Query:
```sql
SELECT ST_SubDivideExplode(ST_GeomFromText("LINESTRING(0 0, 85 85, 100 100, 120 120, 21 21, 10 10, 5 5)"), 5)
```
Result:
```
+-----------------------------+
|geom |
+-----------------------------+
|LINESTRING(0 0, 5 5) |
|LINESTRING(5 5, 10 10) |
|LINESTRING(10 10, 21 21) |
|LINESTRING(21 21, 60 60) |
|LINESTRING(60 60, 85 85) |
|LINESTRING(85 85, 100 100) |
|LINESTRING(100 100, 120 120) |
+-----------------------------+
```
Using Lateral View
Table:
```
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|geometry |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|LINESTRING(0 0, 85 85, 100 100, 120 120, 21 21, 10 10, 5 5) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
```
Query
```sql
select geom from geometries LATERAL VIEW ST_SubdivideExplode(geometry, 5) AS geom
```
Result:
```
+-----------------------------+
|geom |
+-----------------------------+
|LINESTRING(0 0, 5 5) |
|LINESTRING(5 5, 10 10) |
|LINESTRING(10 10, 21 21) |
|LINESTRING(21 21, 60 60) |
|LINESTRING(60 60, 85 85) |
|LINESTRING(85 85, 100 100) |
|LINESTRING(100 100, 120 120) |
