Usually the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit. There is some chance the if the breaker or fuse is rated too high the wire to the outlet socket could overheat and cause a fire.
What should (and usually does) happen is the circuit breaker should pop, removing power. However if the overload is unusually large part of the socket may melt before the breaker pops, this can require replacement of the socket before it is safe to use again.
I once had an outlet that melted internally from an overload, it had black scorch marks on both outlets and the cover plate, a plug could not be fully inserted in one of its outlets, and the breaker would not reset until I replaced it. Never fully determined the cause of the overload (it might have been failure of the outlet itself as it was installed in the early 1950s and its construction violates the current electrical code so exact replacement was not possible and anyway while the electrical code permits such old work outlets to stay in use it requires their replacement conform to current code), all my mother said was that "it shot out flames when I plugged in" a radio or clock or something.
It will probably overheat again, and could burst into flames. The insulating cover may be burnt, exposing the wires. This could lead to a short of the wires, or may give you a shock!
It may damage the cord. You may or may not have a problem if you pull a plug from a socket by its cord. The cord contains wires which are attached, inside the plug, to the protruding blades that enter the socket. That attachment may be very firm, or possibly not so firm. In addition, some plugs fit very firmly inside a socket and consequently are difficult to pull out, and others fit very loosely and are easy to pull out. In the worst case scenario, in which the wires are weakly attached inside the plug, and the plug fits firmly in the socket, the result of pulling the plug out by the cord may be that the wires will become disconnected inside the plug, which will then cease to work properly. And even if the wires do not become immediately disconnected, you may be progressively weakening the connection, if you habitually pull out a plug by means of the cord. Eventually the wiring will fail.
If your question is can you use a #6 flexible SOOW cord and put a 30 amp plug on it, then yes. The breaker that feeds the receptacle that the cord will plug into can be no larger than a 30 amp breaker. What limits the cord capacity to 30 amps is the ratings of the plug on the end of the cord.
The body can become overheated and die.
I don't know about an extension cord, but they do sell plug adabters. You can pick them up at any hardware store or even Wal-Mart. They are ussaully grey or orange , and look like the plug end of the extension cord. One end will have the 2 prong, the other side will have the slots to plug in the three prong.
Superficial cord reflexes are the reflexes that happen when the body is exposed to pain. Superficial cord reflexes are centered in the spinal cord not the brain.
nothing
You can plug an extension cord into another extension cord. A extension cord is to help make doing something easier.
You bring it to vet and tell them that it is overheated and than they will do somthing to him Poor Schnauzer :(

you have to buy the plug-in cord (for the block heater) separately. Block heater is about $34.00 CDN and the cord is about $75.00 CDN. The cord has the regular end to plug into your electrical socket and the other end has a special plug end for the heater.
unplug old cord...plug in new cord
Your engine block heater cord plug is plugged into an extension cord, then into your garage or home outlet. Not into the engine.

A normal extension cord has a plug on it that is the same as any other plug.

It depends on what you plug the other end into. You can plug it into a PS3, a wall adapter, to name a couple. It really does depend on which kind of cord it is.
It should have come with a cord. One end will plug into your iPod and the other will plug in to you laptop.
