Volcanoes are formed when a very hot liquid called magma rises from the earth’s surface and gets collected in a chamber just below the crust. When more magma reaches the chamber, a pressure is formed which keeps the magma rising. The pressure is then released through a crack in the form of a huge eruption.When the magma reaches the surface, it becomes lava. 
The type of eruption depends on the composition of lava.
