steam distillation is an effective way to separate slightly volatile water insolube substance from nonvolatile material
What is the fear of boiling water?

What cause more burns steam or boiling water?

What is boiling water and steam gushing into the air at regular intervals?
Boiling Water + Steam x Gushing in the air = Geiser...
