Question

How Does The Elevation And Air Pressure Affect The Boiling Point Of Water?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The only factor that determines the boiling point of water at any altitude is the barometric pressure (the altitude itself doesn't actually matter, it's just that at higher elevation, the barometric pressure usually drops). However, water will boil at two different temperatures at the same elevation if you are in a high pressure weather system instead of a low pressure system.

Answer 2

Explanation:

At higher altitudes, air pressure is lower. ... When atmospheric pressure is lower, such as at a higher altitude, it takes less energy to bring water to the boiling point. Less energy means less heat, which means water will boil at a lower temperature at a higher altitude.
