                                Consider the following statements regarding the underwater volcanic eruptions:

If magma rises into sea water slowly, then a thin film of steam forms between the magma and water which cools the outer surface of the magma.
When magma is blasted out of the ground full of volcanic gas then fuel-coolant interaction takes place which is similar to a chemical weapon explosion.

Volcano erupts near Tonga, islanders rush to escape waves.
Volcanic eruptions under water

The Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai volcano has erupted regularly over the past few decades. During events in 2009 and 2014/15 hot jets of magma and steam exploded through the waves.
But these eruptions were small, dwarfed in scale by the January 2022 events.
