There are several ways to heat water until it steams. Electric heating elements will do the trick, as will burning something like coal, oil, wood etc. Even intense sunlight can boil water.
Hydropower energy is energy that is created by using water to make it steam and move giant turbines to produce electricity.
The useful energy we get from fossil fuels and nuclear plants is heat. and heating water to make steam is about the most direct way to capture that thermal energy. Steam is used to spin turbines to turn electric power generators, and that allows us to harness the energy.
Electricity is made by converting some form of energy into electricity. Coal is used to heat water in a boiler to make steam. The steam pressure rotates a turbine to power a generator.
This is how a Pressurized Water Reactor works. The water is at a high pressure to prevent boiling, and it is then hot enough to produce steam in a secondary circuit, to feed a steam turbine. spelt something wrong lmao =]
Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.

Other to coal I suppose you mean. Burning of any fuel like oil, wood, etc. Nuclear reactors. I suspect solar energy would make steam. It would be possible to use natural steam from deep in the ground.
There's two ways, I know one; the solar panels reflect sunlight to the top of a tower, the heat boils water to make steam and the steam spins a turbine to create energy.
they burn the fossel fuels which heats the water then the water turns to steam and then the steam is forced through big fans called turbines then it goes to a generator which turns it into electrical energy then it goes to a transformer then to the pylons. burning the fossel fuels- heat energy/chemical energy when the steam goes through the turbines-kinetic energy when it gets to the generator-electrical energy
Fire+Water=Steam
heat under the ground used to heat water and make steam to turn generator turbines and make electricity.
The answer will depend on the starting temperature of the water. It will also depend on the pressure.
To make steam, water is heated until it reaches its boiling point, which is when it turns into steam. The heat energy causes the water molecules to move faster and escape the liquid phase, creating steam. The steam can then be collected and used for various purposes, such as powering turbines or heating systems.
Steam engine advantages Any suitable form of energy can be used to make steam Not affected much by high altitudes Water can be re-used Steam engine disadvantages Has low efficiency, around 30% Are expensive to buy and run Give off a lot of pollution Take time to start Dangerous to use because of high pressure of steam Only 30% of the steam is used Lots of energy is needed to make the steam
You can get it in geysers and mostly geothermal power plants. Geothermal energy makes use of the heat of the Earth to heat water, make steam, and turn a turbine.
A turbine.
Nuclear energy is used to boil water into steam, just like burning coal does. The steam turns giant turbine generators which make electricity and the electricity is sent to your house with wires.
