Steam has enough kinetic energy to leave the liquid water that is boiling, so it's greater amount of energy results in more severe burns than boiling water, which has a lower amount of energy.
stream will produce more severe burns than waterAdded:Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.

surface waves produces the most severe ground movement because its on the surface of the earth
1st degree is the more severe charge?
Third degree is the most severe.

Sunburn is a first degree burn. Also known as superficial, a first degree burn will have redness.
Yes, the skin will heal. Frst degree is the least severe.
Second degree are also called partial-thickness burns. They are the second least severe type.
Because steam includes the latent heat of vapourisation. As a result, the energy in a kilogram of steam at 100 deg C is 2257 kJoules more than that in a kilogram of water at 100 deg C.
