Why does heating cause a liquid to evaporate faster?

The most basic definition of heat is an increased movement at the molecular level - which is exactly what you are seeing.


How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?

The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.


What serves as the baseline for measuring elevations of earths landforms?

These days, elevations are measured from the Geoid model, which is a layer near sea level all of whose points have identical force of gravity. The old terminology that is still popular was "Mean Sea Level". ("Mean" is about the same as saying, "Average").


Is the boiling point in water higher the deeper you go?

Yes - Water's boiling point increases below sea level, and decreases as you go higher above sea level.That's why you need to take it into account when cooking at higher elevations, as the lower air pressure alters cooking times, which are generally referenced for sea level.For a conversion chart, see the link below.


What do colors mean on a physical map?

Physical maps commonly use color most dramatically to show changes in elevation. A palette of greens is often used to display common elevations. Dark green usually represents low-lying land with lighter shades of green used for higher elevations. In the higher elevations, physical maps will often use a palette of light brown to dark brown to show higher elevations. Such maps will commonly use reds or white or purples to represent the highest elevations on the map. With such a map that uses shades of greens, browns, and the like, it is very important to remember that the color does not represent the ground cover. For example, just because the Mojave Desert is shown in green due to the low elevation, it doesn't mean that the desert is lush with green crops. Likewise, the peaks of mountains shown in white does not indicate that the mountains are capped in ice and snow all year long. On physical maps, blues are used for water, with darker blues used for the deepest water and lighter blues used for more shallow water. For elevations below sea level, a green-grey or red or blue-grey or some other color is used.

Which area has the higher elevation?

Mountains have the highest elevations. Sea level is the lowest elevation.


How does climate change at higher elevations in latin America?

As the ground gets higher above sea level the climate gets colder.


How can you use integers to describe elevations above and below sea level?

If sea level is 0, then above sea level are positive elevations and below sea level are negative elevations.


Which will evaporate faster a glass of water or a puddle of water?

a puddle of water will evaporate faster because it has a larger surface area that is, it has more of its moleccules in contact with the air Yes, the more air the same amount of water can cover, the faster it will evaporate. In a glass, there is much water that gets tiny amounts of air under the surface and not enough to evaporate. If the same amount of water was poured on a level flat surface (no puddle), it would evaporate very quickly.


Predict whether water would boil on top of a mountain at a higher or lower temperature than at sea level?

Water would boil higher at the top of a mountain than at sea level. This is because there is less atmospheric pressure at higher elevations.


Which has higher elevations Alaska or Florida?

Alaska. It has many mountains and highlands, whereas much of Florida is not very high above sea level.


Does water boil the same at sea level as it does at higher elevations?

Due to lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, water will boil at lower temperature.


Why Water would boil faster in mountains?

At lower pressure boiling points decrease. At high elevations, such as in mountains the atmospheric pressure is lower than at seas level.


Why does cooking take longer in higher atmospheres?

At higher elevations, air pressure is less. When air pressure is less, water boils at a lower temperature. That means food does not get as hot, so it takes longer to cook. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. At my home in Colorado (7000 feet above sea level) water boils at 199 degrees F. At the top of Mt. Everest (29,029 ft) water would boil at 161 degrees F.


What does elevations mean?

To elevate means to raise to a higher level, or to promote to a higher rank.
