The moisture in the acorn is also heated and that moisture begins to boil. Eventually contained in the shell of the nut the pressure builds until the nut shell can no longer contain it. This causes the nut to explode. Most people do not appreciate the explosive power of water. If you think of it why does a volcano explode? Some volcanoes explode with some of the most intense explosions on earth. These are all triggered by water in the volcano heating to incredible pressures. If you have ever seen a "pressure cooker" explode in a kitchen there the extra pressure is around 14 lbs/sq inch. The pressures in a volcano can be thousands of pounds per square inch.
