How Does a ‘Volcano’ Erupt and Why Do Some Explode More Than Others?

Examples

1. A volcano erupts when it feels like it can't hold all that hot stuff inside anymore, just like a bottle with boiling water!
2. Some volcanoes are more explosive because they're filled with fizzy magma, like a shaken soda bottle.
3. When the lid of a pressure cooker breaks, it's like a volcano blowing its top off in an eruption.
