A volcanic eruption is more explosive if the magma or lava has a high viscosity, which means it is thick. A volcano like MT Kilauea in Hawaii has thinner magma which flows more freely from the volcano. If it's thicker more gas is created and it can also cause blockages which make for a larger explosion.

Think about it: A volcano erupts from bottom and up/top. And explosion is when an object (or anything else) literally blasts out everywhere..like self destructing and a mess everywhere.
