as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.
At higher altitudes, there is less pressure. This will decrease the boiling point of water. The effect of pressure on the melting point is not very significant.

The boiling point of any liquid is dependent upon the pressure of the atmosphere above the liquid therefore water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes. Because of this, the pasta takes longer to cook in the cooler boiling water.
The boiling point of water will be greatest at that point on Earth that is the closest to sea level. Boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of water varies depending on the weather. At low atmospheric temperatures due to weather or due to being up a mountain, the water will boil below its "normal" boiling point of 100 oC
How high is high? The boiling temperature depends on the pressure of the atmosphere above the liquid. The higher you go the lower is the atmospheric pressure, and so the boiling temperature. Methanol boils at 64.7°C (148.4°F) at 760mmHg, about sea level.
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
Well altitude is the distance above sea level. The higher the altitude, the less air pressure and temperature there's going to be.

The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
If sea level is 0, then above sea level are positive elevations and below sea level are negative elevations.
Water evaporate faster at higher elevations.
As the ground gets higher above sea level the climate gets colder.
Water becomes a gas when it reaches the boiling point, which is 100 C at sea level. The boiling point is different at lower air pressures / higher elevations.
The temperature of boiling water stays the same. At sea level, that is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At higher elevations, say on a tall mountain, the boiling point of water is less and less, the higher you go.
Yes - Water's boiling point increases below sea level, and decreases as you go higher above sea level.That's why you need to take it into account when cooking at higher elevations, as the lower air pressure alters cooking times, which are generally referenced for sea level.For a conversion chart, see the link below.
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
Alaska. It has many mountains and highlands, whereas much of Florida is not very high above sea level.
The temperature decreases the higher you go.
Yes it does. Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. The higher one goes the lower the pressure. If the pressure is lower then the water does not need as much vapor pressure in order to boil, and thus the temperature is lower.
