The lower the pressure then the lower the temperature that is required to make it boil. Water at the top of Mount Everest boils well below 100 degrees centigrade due to the lower atmospheric pressure.

How is water vapour responsible for global warming?
Water in the air doesn't heat the air up. Water in the air moderates temperatures. It tends to make daytime temperatures cooler and nighttime temperatures warmer than they would be in drier air.
How does air pressure affect climate?
it doesn't
How does temperature affect air pressure?
As temperature increases so does the pressure
Why is water pressure stronger than air pressure?
Think of it this way, if you had a plastic bottle filled with water and you poked a hole in the side, would water squirt out or would air squirt in? If air squirted in, then the air pressure would have to be higher. But since we know that the water would squirt out, we know that the water's pressure must be stronger. Of course, this is under normal conditions. If you pumped the air pressure up enough, then the air pressure may become stronger than standard water pressure. So actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure.
How does air pressure affect how much water vapor air can hold?
Warmer air has higher saturation mixing ratios then cold air does. So therefore because of this 100% humidity in cold air is not 100% humidity in warmer air. The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
How do cold temperature affect air pressure?
Cold temperatures increase air pressure.
What are the factors affect air pressure?
Three factors that affect air pressure are temperature, altitude, and water vapor.

Why do water temperatures correspond to air temperatures?
In most cases, the water temperature only affects land temperatures when the land is in relatively close proximity to the water. The winds will flow accross the warmer water and carry the radiated heat over the land closest to the shoreline. As the wind blows further inland, the affects of the water are slowly dropped off. In contrast, the air temperatures can SLOWLY affect the water temperatures. Over time, cooler/warmer air temps will cool/warm the waters if the temps are fairily consistent for a period of time. The larger the body of water, the longer it takes for the air to affect it.
Do oceans affect climates by slowing or speeding up the rise and fall of air temperatures?
Oceans affect climates by slowing the rise and fall of air temperatures. Because water has a high specific heat, it holds heat longer than air.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Thunderstorms develop as a result of which process in ocean areas?
rising warm air creating low pressure cells rising warm air creating high pressure cells falling air temperatures creating low pressure cells falling air temperatures creating high pressure cells
How is temperature and pressure realated?
High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.
What are some elements that change air pressure?
temperature (heat), volume, water vapor, and altitude (how high or low it is) all affect air pressure
Does air pressure affect water pressure?
Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.
How does pressure affect the air?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
