You can think of it as water through a pipe. At full blast you get the full power of the amp going into your speakers, all the water is flowing. The volume is restricting a certain amount of water to flow, all the way to closed. Some volumes, (especially mixers,) even have a zero at the top and then negative numbers as you go down in power/volume.
