HESH vs HEAT

Could our active or retired armour members explain the difference between these two rounds?I know basically how a HEAT works using a shaped charge warhead to create a plasma jet to burn through armour but I am curious as to how a HESH round works.All I know about a HESH round is that it needs to be fired through a rifled barrel.Any information and opinions as to which is more effective would be appreciated.
