The gasses dissolved in the magma (or the entry of water into the magma) cause the explosive behaviour.

What makes a valcano errupt?

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.

Does mafic magma explode?

Mafic magmas generally have lower viscosity and gas content compared to felsic magmas, so they tend to flow more easily rather than explode. However, in certain conditions where gas build-up is high and pressure is released rapidly, mafic magma may still explode, but it is less common than with felsic magmas.

How can you make a volcano explode?
