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.

As magma rises the pressure on it decreases and the dissolved gases are released. They expand in a similar fashion to the expansion of gas when opening a can or bottle of soda, due to the release of pressure.

Do gases escape from magma?

Yes. This is because as the magma moves towards the Earth's surface it is under a lower pressure so is able to maintain lesser volumes of dissolved gas. As such the extra gas exsolves and escapes from the magma.
