The most violent eruptions in volcanoes are generally caused by extremely high gas pressures within the magma chamber. When the gas pressure becomes too high, it can lead to explosive eruptions that release large amounts of ash, gases, and volcanic material with high velocity and destructive power. The composition of the magma, particularly if it is rich in silica, also plays a role in determining the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.
