Water only boils at 100 degrees ( in C ) when the pressure on it is standard

atmospheric pressure. In Denver, it boils at a lower temperature, and in a

pressure cooker, it can get a lot hotter than that and still not boil. At the

bottom of a geyser, the pressure is more than atmospheric pressure because

of all the water laying on top of the lowest layer, so it can go higher than 100

without boiling.
