Imagine a volcano like a soda bottle that’s been shaking for a long time. Inside, there’s hot liquid (magma) and gas. When the pressure gets too high, poof! It explodes, just like when you open a shaken soda bottle too fast. That's how volcanoes blow their tops! The hot stuff comes out as lava or ash, making everything around it really messy.
Examples
- A shaken soda bottle exploding when you open it
- A cake rising quickly because of too much air inside
- A balloon bursting from too much pressure
