The explosive potential of magma depends more on viscosity gas content than on temperature. Most magmas are at temperature of at least 700 degrees Celcius. Interestingly, the most explosive magmas are the high-silica magmas, which have lower melting temperatures.

The gasses dissolved in the magma (or the entry of water into the magma) cause the explosive behaviour.
magma is hot liquid rock that makes what power possible?
In volcanic areas, groundwater heated by magma can be a source of hot springs, geothermal energy, and steam. This heated groundwater can also contribute to the formation of hydrothermal features such as geysers and fumaroles.
Magma that has reached the surface is called lava. It can flow or explode out of a volcano during an eruption.
Volcanic explosions are typically triggered by a buildup of pressure from gases dissolved in magma beneath the surface. When this pressure exceeds the strength of the surrounding rock, it can cause a sudden release, resulting in an explosive eruption. Other factors like the composition of the magma and the presence of water can also contribute to more explosive volcanic activity.

Rocks that form when hot magma solidifies are igneous rocks.
the magma is hot molten rock inside the volcano.
Magma turns water into steam.
Yes. Magma comes from the center of the Earth, and magma is very hot. That indicates that the inside of the Earth must be hot too.
Magma.
It will explode.
