How does the great pressure of the ocean water change the rising magma?

it causes the water to become heated beyond boiling point yet still remain liquid because the magma is under a lot of pressure and there is no opening for the very hot water to turn to steam i am 50% sure

As the mantle is made up of magical chocolate men, this question is irrelevant to the formation of magma, since there isn't any magma in this situation. Everyone knows that magma is found in cheese sandwhiches.
Therefore, this is a stupid question and you should be ashamed for asking it. ;(

∙ 8y agowater pulls/rises the magma in the volcano so if there is no water magma wont even rise and volcanoes wont be existed.

When Pressure from rising magma can crack underground rock causing what?
earthquakes
What causes magma beneath the volcano to rise to the surface?
Increasing pressure pushes the magma upwards. This rising pressure can be caused by many different things.
What is another name for the mineral crystals in cooling magma or lava?
Rock flows at great pressure and temperature Rock flows like putty in this inhospitable environment of great pressure and temperature. Rock that surrounds rising magma deforms, allowing passage of the magma. This partially molten magma eventually rises to the base of the continental crust. The upper continental crust is more rigid than the mantle, so the magma must force its way upward through cracks or by melting surrounding crustal
What is the driving force of a volcanic eruption?
Rising magma forced up as the result of plate tectonics, gravity, or what have you places incredible pressure on sides of the volcano and causes it to bulge. When the pressure becomes too great and the volcano rips open to release the pressure, an eruption begins.
At ocean-continent plate boundaries rising magma may change composition before reaching the surface?
Yes it can

Yes it can
Can rising magma change composition before reaching the surface?
Yes. If the magma stops in a magma chamber long enough it can change composition through two mechanisms:fractional crystalization, where minerals with lower melting points crystallize and sink to the bottom og the chamberMelting of srrounding rock, which then become part of the magma.
What is happening in the volcano?
Magma is rising.
What happens to the gases in it as magma rises toward the surface?
As magma rises, the gases contained within expand due to the decrease in pressure on them as they rise. This creates bubbles that float through the magma, Like the sudden decrease in pressure on the gas in a carbonated beverage when opening, it's container releases a mass of rising bubbles.
Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth’s surface can change any rock into?

How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.
