Kathmandu is at a very high elevation in the Himalayas, where the atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level. This causes water to boil at a temperature less than 100 oCelsius.

At what temperature does sea water boil?
sea water boils 105 c
What the temperature for water boils in Celsius?
100 at standard presure
What is the temperature at which water boils on the Fahrenheit?
"Turning to vapor" is a description of boiling. At normal conditions, water boils at 212oF.
Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?
Because the alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water.
Which temperature scale labels the freezing point of water at 0 degrees?
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
Is the temperature at which water boils at the seashore is less or greater than that at a Himalayan peak?
The temperature at witch water boils at the sea shore is 100 degree centigrade and Himalayan peak is is about 70 degree centigrade. ( In pressure cooker at about 120 degree centigrade. )
Which temperature scale was used if water boils at 100 degrees?
The Celsius (Centigrade) scale.
Which scale boils the water to 100 degrees?
If you mean the temperature of boiling water then Celsius or Centigrade scale
What kind of temperature does Europe use?
The centigrade or Celsius scale in which water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 degrees at sea level.
What happens to water at 100 degrees centigrade?
It boils...100 deg Centigrade equals 212 deg. Fahrenheit
Which temperat ure scale is used for scientific work?
The Centigrade or Celsius scale is the temperature scale typically used for scientific work. On the Centigrade scale water freezes at zero degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
What is the definiton of water in biology?
binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent
What is the difference between kelvin and centigrade?
Both are measures of temperature. Both have 100 Degrees between the freezing point and melting point of pure water at 1 atmosphere of pressure but the difference lies in the value of 0k and 0c. Zero centigrade is the freezing temperature of pure water where as Zero Kelvin is Absolute Zero, which is -273 Degrees Centigrade. Therefore water freezes at 273 Degrees Kelvin and 0 Degrees Centigrade. Water therefore boils at 373 Degrees Kelvin but 100 degrees Centigrade. (All assuming one standard atmosphere of pressure.)
What thermometer has 220 at water boils?
The Fahrenheit scale has water boiling at 212 degrees. 100 degreesCelsius/Centigrade.
The temperture scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees?
Celsius and Centigrade
Can water exist as H2O?
H2O is defined as - a binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent - does that sound like water to you .
Water boils at a temperature of?
