It would usually consist of pressure and if there is a hot spot under the volcano. There are also many different types of volcanoes and it would also depend on the type it is. For example the dome volcano just makes a hot air looking balloon type of thing.
How the volcano explodes: There is a rock in the volccano called ignious and inside the volcano is lava. When the temperature get very high the lava turns into magma and when the magma touches the rock it has a reaction of some kind that makes the volcano explode when it gets to hot

∙ 9y agoThe main causes of volcanoes to erupt is the movement of plate tectonics. This opens up a vent on the surface of the earth through which the magma from the crust of the earth is discharged.

Do volcanoes stop earth from exploding?
No. The Earth won't "explode"! Volcanoes relieve pressure over relatively small areas, but the planet's Crust and interior as a whole are basically in equilibrium.
Do earthquakes explode like volcanoes?
no
Do volcanoes in Hawaii explode anymore?
yes
What are volanoes?
volcanoes are mountthat explode lava
Does an island composite volcano explode rapidly or slowly?
The phrase "explode slowly" is an oxymoron. Composite volcanoes, regardless of whether they are island volcanoes or mainland volcanoes, will produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Does the volcanoes in Spain still explode?

In what weather conditions does a volcano explode best?
Weather has no effect on the explosive properties of volcanoes.
Why do Japan's volcanoes have steep slopes?
because japans volcanoes explode. So therefore, the magma does not flow down the volcano making it flat and smooth.
Why don't Hawaii islands explode?
They do! Check out the Volcanoes State Park at Kilauea on the Big Island. They have volcanoes that have been going for 30 years now.
