Mnemonic

A pictograph of a volcano-like hole in the ground that was covered with a roof with a chimney.

Imagine a huge hole similar to the Darvaza gas crater. Let's say you'd like to cover it up, you know, so that no one accidentally falls in there and dies. So how'd you do it? Simple — just build a roof over it! And add a chimney so that the burning gasses can escape.
