Why do deposits form in the steam vents of ions in some parts of the country?

Deposits can form in steam vents due to the presence of mineral-rich water in the surrounding area. When the steam cools and condenses, minerals in the water are left behind, eventually building up to form deposits. The specific composition of the minerals present in the water will determine the type of deposit that forms.

How have irons changed in the last 100 years?

A hundred years ago irons were made of solid metal. They were set to warm (usually on an open fire) and then used to press clothes. Electric irons first appeared early in the Twentieth Century, and didn't become commonplace in working-class households until the 1940's. But once electric irons were widespread, electric steam irons became a possibility (steam irons became commonplace during the 1960's). Ironing is much easier these days.
