behind

Is it correct to say 'explanation/logic behind something"? Is this a way of asking someone to expand on the answer?
What is the explanation/logic behind your answer?

Thank you

Yes, but if you check out the Google N-gram site, you'll see that "logic behind" is used much, much more often than "explanation behind". The results from fraze.it are similar: 335 instances for "logic behind" and only 17 for "explanation behind".
