If you get a very sticky magma (molten rock) which can occur due to the composition of the magma it makes it hard for gas to escape (e.g. think of blowing bubbles through honey and water, its harder through honey), when the gas does escape out of these sticky magma's it has built up a lot of pressure and explodes.
