Why doesn't seawater leak into the depths of the earth?
Seawater does not leak into the depths of the Earth because the Earth's crust acts as a barrier preventing water from seeping through. Additionally, the high temperature and pressure in the Earth's mantle would cause seawater to evaporate or be chemically altered before it could reach those depths.
Why the volcano emits smoke?
Lava is the molten rock that is expelled from erupting volcanoes. The molten rock is released under pressure through the earth's crust where the crust is weakest. This is often at plate boundaries but can be within plates.
Why volcano being compared with pressure cooker?
Volcanoes and pressure cookers both involve the build-up and release of pressure. Just like a pressure cooker traps steam until it's released, a volcano traps magma (molten rock) until it erupts through the Earth's crust. The comparison highlights the explosive nature of volcanic eruptions when pressure is released.
Why doesn't water cool the lava?
Water does cool lava, but not instantly. For one thing, lava is a poor conductor of heat, so when lava erupts underwater the outside cools fairly quickly to form solid crust, but the inside remains molten. Second, the water in contact with the lava or crust (which is still quite hot) boils and forms an insulating layer of steam.
What is a natural vent that discharges steam or water from earth?
A geyser is a natural vent that discharges steam or water from Earth.
How is magma used to generate electricity?
Magma is molten rock under the earth's crust. In geothermal power plants, water is pumped underground. It turns into steam which is then used to drive electricity generators.
What is an opening in the earth's surface through which steam ashes and lava are forced out?
An opening in the earth's surface through which steam, ashes, and lava are forced out is called a volcano. Volcanoes are formed when magma rises to the surface through vents or openings in the earth's crust, leading to eruptions that release gases, ash, and molten rock.
Where does the heat for geothermal energy come from'?
The molten core of planet Earth is the source of heat for geothermal energy. from underground from steam directly from the earth

What are openings from which hot steam gases and ashes are ejected?
volcanoes
What are openings from which hot steam gases and ashes are ejected from?
volcanoes
How will you differentiate a volcano based on its structure?
Volcanoes are a good way for the earth to blow off a little steam. More correctly, volcanoes are vents in the earth's crust through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor and gases are ejected. And while they are all natural events in the life of earth, there are different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are differentiated based on their size, composition and explosive style.
What is the definition of the word volcano?
A vent in the earth's crust through witch lava, steam, ash, and etc come poring out.
What is a tall column of water and steam erupting from earth's surface called?
A tall column of water and steam erupting from Earth's surface is called a geyser. This phenomenon is typically caused by underground water that is heated by magma and then expelled through a vent in the Earth's crust.
What is the part of a steam train that the steam comes out of?
The blastpipe which is located inside the smokebox located at the front of the engine. The steam is ejected into the atmosphere through the chimney or smokestack.
How did Edwin l drake discover oil in 1859?
he used a steam engine drill,to dig through Earth's crust and eventually was successful.
