Why does the water in a car radiator sometimes boil explosevly when the radiator cap is removed?

When the radiator cap is removed, the pressure inside the radiator is released suddenly, causing the water to boil explosively due to the rapid decrease in pressure. The water in the radiator is under pressure to raise its boiling point, and when that pressure is suddenly relieved, the water can boil and turn to steam very quickly, leading to an explosive release of steam and hot water.
