Steam
Added:
Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.
From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.
It depends on the lenght of exposure, but steam will generally burn more severely because steam is hotter (sometimes much much hotter) than boiling water, hence why it is steam in the first place. Boiling water can only get so hot before it all becomes steam.

Steam has more heat capacity than boiling water by its condensing to liquid and after that it'll conduct heat better as being liquified.

stem because it would actually burn your skin and like melt it off in a way and burning water only leaves a big mark on your skin. Steam often causes worse burns than boiling water because as the steam condenses on the skin, it releases the latent heat of vaporization, which is very significant for water. Thus, more heat is.released It depends on the lenght of exposure, but steam will generally burn more severely because steam is hotter (sometimes much much hotter) than boiling water, hence why it is steam in the first place.

I would think it's to do with the fact it's in a gaseous state so it would penetrate more deeply through the pores in your skin, therfore burning more of you, increasing the severity of the burns. But i may be wrong though thats an educated guess.
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
Wasted, unless you specifically want to produce a lot of steam.
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
Steam itself is renewable, but what is used to produce steam is not. Common fuels to produce steam are coal, and oil, which are not renewable.
Water that is boiling can only achieve 100 degrees Celsius (at sea level). Once turned into steam it can achieve at lot higher temperature. (Super heated steam).
Steam has enough kinetic energy to leave the liquid water that is boiling, so it's greater amount of energy results in more severe burns than boiling water, which has a lower amount of energy.
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
if you are saying 135 Fahrenheit. No such thing as 135 degree steam. 212 at sea level is the beginning of boiling and it will take more than that to produce steam. To produce visible water vapor takes a lot less heat but viruses & bacteria might not be completely killed by water vapor
At the boiling point, 100° C
Because steam includes the latent heat of vapourisation. As a result, the energy in a kilogram of steam at 100 deg C is 2257 kJoules more than that in a kilogram of water at 100 deg C.

The temperature of steam depends on the pressure of the system. Higher pressure steam can get super hot. Steam at atm is around 212 degree F, like boiling water.
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
stream will produce more severe burns than waterAdded:Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.
for boiling the water to produce the steam... this steam helps to rotate the turbine...
