    It is only one way to do that,if the magma comes out to the surface,by the way it will blow anyway from the evaporating of water (volcano).

    Oil won't blow up:

    1: mostly it is very fragmented not in giant lakeforms,a lot very small drops in the rock

    2 :it is not refined

    3:in the very depths of crust the temperature was too hot for oilformation,the organic residues decayed into CO2

    4:and even if a bigger oilsource expledes it is less energy than a medium earthquake
