lower pressure means a lower boiling point.
The boiling point temperature of a compound increases as the pressure increases, until the pressure reaches the critical pressure of the compound. For water, you have : P ( kPa ) T ( C ) ------------ ---------- 1.0.............. 6.97 50....... .......81.32 100............ 99.61 101.325... 100.0 500........... 151.83 8000......... 295.01 20000....... 365.75 22064....... 373.95 ( Critical Point of H2O )
The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase; the value at Johannesburg is near 94 0C.
The Dead Sea is below mean sea level for the earth; therefore, the pressure at the Dead Sea would be greater than at mean sea level and the boiling point of water would be above 100C.
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.

Increasing the pressure increases the boiling temperature
At low pressure the boiling point is lowered and inverse.
At low pressure the boiling point is lowered and inverse.
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
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.
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils
