When the pressure is reduced. Water only boils at 100 degrees Celsius when the air pressure is one atmosphere. So up a mountain, where the air pressure is lowered, water boils at a lower temperature.

When will water boil at temperatures less than 100C?
When the gas phase pressure is less than 1 atmosphere.
Will water boil faster if there is less of it?
A small amount of water will reach it's boiling point sooner than a large amount of water. It will not boil faster.
Where does water boil at less than 100 degrees Celsius?
On top of a mountain
Why does water boil at a higher temperature in a pressure cooker?
less than 100oC.
Why does water boil faster in the mountains than the city?
There is Less atmospheric pressure on a mountain. As pressure goes down, so does the temperature required to boil water.
Why does water boil at a lower temperature in denver than in dallas?
less air pressure in denver
Does food colouring affect the time it takes for water to boil?
Food colouring does not affect how long it takes for water to boil. Both clear water and water with food colouring boil at the same speed with no real obvious differences in time.
What liquid is hardest to evaporate - petrolkerosenedieselroad tar?
Mercury, with a density 13 times more than that of water, it takes a long time to boil much less evaporate.
Does amount of water effect how long it takes to boil?
Yes. The more quantity of water there is the more time it takes to boil than a less quantity of water. No I don't think so because it depends on the temperature on which it is the boiled.If it is more,then the water boils fast. Of course if it is more water,then it needs more temperature than less quantity of water.
Will water boil at 100C at the top of a mountain?
no because at the top of the mountain its less pressure than at the sea level so it will take more time to boil
Why does vodka make water boil faster?
Because the boiling point of ethanol (the alcohol in vodka) is lower than that of water.
What temperature does salt water boil at?
Depends on how much and what salt, but definitely higher than pure water.
