Because the mountains are higher up and sea level should be lower because it just should be. Thanks:)

The boiling point of a liquid is defined as when the vapour pressure of that liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. On mountains, the air pressure is lower than at sea level, so it follows that the boiling point of water is lower there.
Because the pressure high up in the moutains is lower than on sea level.
The boiling point of water decreases at higher altitudes because there is lower atmospheric pressure. As elevation increases, the air pressure decreases, which makes it easier for water molecules to escape into the air, lowering the boiling point.
The boiling point is lower because the air is thinner, and there is less pressure acting on the water. This means that you have to add less energy to counteract the forces holding the water in liquid form.
The boiling point of water is lower in the mountains due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. The lower pressure makes it easier for water molecules to escape into vapor form, resulting in a lower boiling point. In contrast, the higher pressure at sea level keeps water molecules more tightly bound, requiring a higher temperature to reach the boiling point.
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
The boiling point of water at 16404 feet above sea level is around 187.7°F or 86.5°C. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, leading to a lower boiling point for water compared to sea level.
The boiling point of water can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower. Conversely, at lower altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is higher.
