Boiling. (:
Boiling point is most affected by pressure. Note that freezing point and melting point are in fact the same.
As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases. This results in lower boiling points for water because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water. However, the freezing point of water is not significantly affected by altitude.
Decreased pressure lowers the boiling point of water because it reduces the pressure exerted on the liquid, allowing the water molecules to escape into the vapor phase more easily. However, decreased pressure has a less significant effect on the freezing point of water compared to the boiling point, as freezing point is more influenced by the presence of impurities in the water.
As pressure decreases, the boiling point of water will also decrease. Backpackers camping in the high mountains are familiar with the phenomena when they get water boiling - and find that it is still only lukewarm because the atmospheric pressure at their high altitude is so low.

Freezing and boiling do not change the chemistry in the process.
At a constant pressure, the freezing point is always going to be lower than the boiling point.
It is not. The boiling point of water (at standard pressure) is 100 deg C while the freezing point is 0 deg C. 100 is not the same as 0!
Water.
32 freezing, 212 boiling - at sea level. Temps change as air pressure changes.

Elevation has minimal affects on the freezing point of water as it doesn't deal with gas molecules as boiling does. Elevation affects the boiling point of water because the air pressure changes with elevation.
Celsius and Kelvin each have 100 divisions from freezing to boiling.
Examples : sublimation, deposition, boiling, melting, freezing.
Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.
