    Well to begin with, the thermal energy is mostly provided by the energy contained in warm water, when mixed with the other two components the chemical units are modified to form a composite solution that will result in an energy release, this energy release generate a movement, which in this case is the eruptive movement simulating the eruption of a volcano.

    Explanation:

    By mixing the vinegar (which is an acid) with the baking soda (which is a base), they react and transform into water, sodium acetate (a salt), and carbon dioxide (a gas). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that causes bubbles to form from the eruption of the volcano and balloons to swell.
