When water is placed under pressure it lowers its boiling point. Therefore, if you put it under pressure you can heat it to temperatures much higher than 100 C. However, if you lose that pressure, say by breaking the tank holding the pressurize water, the water will quickly boil off and can cause explosions due to the rapid expansion of the vapor.

What does very hot water under pressure form?
Limestone
How do you make water very dense?
Make it very cold under extraordinarily great pressure.
Is helium dense or less dense than water?
While the temperature and pressure a substance is under changes its density, it would take very high temperature and very low pressure on water and very low temperature and very high pressure on the hydrogen to make hydrogen more dense than water. So short answer, Hydrogen is less dense than water. While the temperature and pressure a substance is under changes its density, it would take very high temperature and very low pressure on water and very low temperature and very high pressure on the hydrogen to make hydrogen more dense than water. So short answer, Hydrogen is less dense than water.
What is an adaptation the giant squid has made?
It is able to with stand the tremondous pressure under water as deep as it goes ( which is very deep )
What is the unit weight of water?
It depends on the temperature and pressure but it is very slightly under 1 gram per cubic centimetre.
What is the water pressure of the sunlight zone?
the water pressure of the sunlight zone is very hot....
What happens when rock and water under the crust become very hot?
Pressures can dramatically increase, causing the rock to melt.
Can 1200W hot plate boil water?
Only if the water is under pressure; that is, at a higher pressure than Earth's atmospheric pressure. This is because 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water (at Earth's standard atmospheric pressure), where any additional heat energy will simply cause the water to vaporize. Under higher pressures, however, the water can be kept liquid to higher temperatures. (The calculation of such pressure is left as an exercise for the student!)
You change the hoses in your kitchen sink but the water pressure is very low what to do?
turn up the water pressure
Why water at bottom of ice in Atlantic ocean not converted to ice?
The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is very high. Water is unique in that as pressure increases, its melting point decreases. This means that it stays liquid a lower temperatures when it is under high pressure. The presence of salt in the water lowers the melting point even more.
What makes us emotional?
stress is a way that makes us very emotional, if you are under a lot of pressure seeing a councilor is very helpful. Another way being emotional happens is when you are hurt physically or mentally. ::::))))
How does the presence of water in magma increase the chance of an explosive eruption?
At the temperatures found in magma water would normally be a gas, but is trapped under pressure as long as the magma is underground. When pressure is reduced enough the water vapor can bubble out of the magma very rapidly, resulting in an explosion.
