Solution :

It is given that a now-a-days many of the health clubs and the gyms provides steam saunas with the help of heated rocks in a container. When water is poured in to these heated rocks, steam is being produce.

This is because the energy conversion takes place in this process. The hot rocks have high temperatures and possess heat energy in them. So when cold water is poured in to the rocks, the cold water absorbs the heat energy from the rocks and is converted in to hot vapor by converting heat energy in to vapor energy or steam energy by the process of vaporization.
