Question

Why is it difficult to cook food at high altitudes?

Answer 1

due to lower external pressure the boiling point of the water decreases and this increases the rate of cooking at higher altitudes. As the boiling point of water is lower this will take more time to cook a stuff.

Also External pressure is directly proportional to boiling point of the water.

Answer 2

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure and thus lower boiling point. So, at higher altitudes, the food needs to be cooked for a longer time due to the lower boiling point of water.
