The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.

How are melting and boiling points affected as altitude is increased?
Boiling point decrease at high altitude.
Does melting point and boiling point of liquid changes from altitude to altitude?
The boiling point depends on altitude (pressure). The effect on the melting point is not significant.
How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?
The boiling point of water is lower at high altitude; the freezing point is practically not affected.
Why are the freezing melting and boiling points lower on high altitude?
Heat is only energy. In areas of low pressure, such as high altitudes, "heat" particles, which are charged electrons, escape more quickly. As more "heat" (electrons) escapes more quickly, things freeze more quickly. As far as I know melting and boiling points are higher, not lower in high altitudes.
What is the melting and boiling points of magnesium and chloride?
chloride isn't a thing on its own and the melting and boiling points of chlorine and magnesium will have no effect on the boiling and melting point og magnesium chloride.
What would be the boiling point of alcohol at a higher altitude?
it depends on the altitude
What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?
The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.
When did Boiling Points end?
Boiling Points ended on 2005-01-01.
When was Boiling Points created?
Boiling Points was created on 2004-01-05.
What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
Ionic compounds have boiling points that are often above?
Ionic compounds have boiling points of
How would the observed temperature be affected if distillation was performed on top of a mountain?
The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
