The boiling point of water decreases with altitude due to lower atmospheric pressure. On tall mountain peaks, such as those exceeding 8,000 feet (about 2,400 meters), water can boil at temperatures lower than the standard 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level. For example, at around 10,000 feet, water may boil at approximately 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit). This reduction in boiling point can affect cooking and other processes that rely on boiling water.

Would the boiling point of water be higher or lower on a mountain peakhow would the boiling point be affected in a pressurized system?

The higher the pressure being exerted on the water, the lower the boiling point becomes. Yes the boiling point is affected in a pressurized system. If you put water in a sealed container and kept raising the pressure it will eventually reach it's boiling point without the need of adding heat.

What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?

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.
