Best Answer

A volcano explodes when magma (what lava is called when it is underground) comes up with gas trapped in it. The gas can form bubbles in the magma that grow so quickly that it creates an explosion.

The real word for this is "erupt" because not all eruptions have explosions. Sometimes the lava just oozes out from the weight of the rock pressing down on the magma.
