Heat is only energy. In areas of low pressure, such as high altitudes, "heat" particles, which are charged electrons, escape more quickly. As more "heat" (electrons) escapes more quickly, things freeze more quickly.

As far as I know melting and boiling points are higher, not lower in high altitudes.

How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?

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.


How are melting and boiling points affected as altitude is increased?

Boiling point decrease at high altitude.


What processes is most affected by pressure freezing or boiling or melting?

Boiling and freezing points of a substance are affected by pressure. An increase in pressure raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of a substance. Melting point is not significantly affected by pressure.


What are the freezing melting boiling and evaporation points of water?

The melting/freezing point of water is oC.The boiling point of water is 100 oC at standard pressure.Evaporation occur at any temperature.


What is mean by melting and boiling point?

Melting point & boiling point means the temp that things melt & boil. Water's freezing & melting point is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Different liquids or substances have different melting, freezing, and boiling points.


What is the boiling melting and freezing point?

A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.


What do terms boiling points and freezing point mean?

Melting (freezing) point: the temperature when the solid metal become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature when the liquid metal become a gas.


How do the boiling and freezing points between the Fahrenheit and celsius?

Boiling points and melting points differ for different elements and compounds. However, if water is considered, the freezing point is 0 degree Celsius which is 32 degree Fahrenheit. Boiling point is 100 degree Celsius which is 212 degree Fahrenheit.


Does melting point change from altitude to altitude?

Yes, the melting point of a substance can change with altitude due to the variation in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which can affect the boiling and melting points of substances. Generally, lower pressure at higher altitudes can result in lower melting points for many substances.


Why can boiling points and freezing points be used to identify substance?

It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.


What are the freezing boiling and melting points of water?

The melting/freezing point of water is oC.The boiling point of water is 100 oC at standard pressure.Evaporation occur at any temperature.


Why water is 0'c is solid but nitrogen is gas?

Different chemicals have different physical properties, such as melting points (freezing points) and boiling points (vaporization points) waters freezing point is 0* C whereas nitrogen's freezing point is much lower.
