There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam (蒸汽) come up from under the ground. It is a large island in New Zealand.
Our earth is a ball of very hot rock. It is a good thing for us that the outside part is cold.
The earth's outside part has cracks (裂缝) in it in some places. In New Zealand it seems to have more cracks than in other places on the earth. The people who live in these places make use of the heat (热) that comes from inside the earth. Some of them use the heat to cook. They put food into a basket and place it in the water. Washing clothes is done in much the same way. Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their homes. In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing, and for
heating their homes.
For most of us, the heat under our feet is too far away to use. The people who get heat from inside the earth are lucky. They need not pay for it.
