If the rocks below the volcano melt, the liquid rock will gather in a chamber underground. As the pressure in this chamber increases the magma may be forced out. This is an eruption. Eruptions are more likely to be explosive if the magma contains a large amount of water or gas, as the expansion of the water or gas makes the magma explode as it is released.
