The thermostat is broken and needs to be replaced. You need to disconnect the water heater until you can get it repaired to prevent over heating and a possible fire.

Electric water heater you have a electric water heater that for some reason keeps failing to heat water It has a new element thermostat and breaker what else could it be?
Try checking the heating element itself. Do this by removing it and using an ohm meter to check it for an "open" circuit condition. If the ohm meter reads infinite, then it is likely bad. If the water heater is only slow to heat, a very likely possibility is that you have an excess amount of sediment in the bottom of the tank, insulating the heating element from the water. Back flushing the tank will solve this problem. For more tips, check out the following web site: www.waterheaterrescue.com
Why is it important that some of the insolation hitting Earth returns to space?
If it didn't, the Earth would keep getting hotter and hotter. We would have to find a way to get rid of some of the heat. As it is, we have roughly an energy balance where we retain about as much energy as leaves the system, and that keeps temperature roughly constant.
What causes it to erupt?
Sometimes the plates on the earths crust crash into each other, forcing one to go lower. The friction causes the rock to get hotter and hotter until it melts. This is called magma. The magma keeps getting hotter, but it needs somewhere to go, so it surges up through the earths crust, making a hole. That is how a volcano is made. Once the hole is made, magma from the earths core comes to the surface, causing the volcano to spit lava
