Are volcanoes that erupt in the ocean erupt more explosively than others?

Volcanoes that erupt in the ocean can be more explosive than those on land due to the interaction between magma and water. When magma rises to the ocean floor, it can rapidly heat the surrounding water, leading to steam generation and explosive phreatomagmatic eruptions. Factors such as the composition of the magma and the depth of the water also play a crucial role in determining the eruption's explosiveness. However, not all underwater eruptions are more explosive; the specific geological context is key.
