Because the atmospheric pressure upon the mountain top alters the amount of kinetic energy (movement of the particles) or in plain English alters the amount of heat the water gives off.

What causes mountain tops to be pointed or smooth?

Mountain tops can be pointed or smooth depending on the type of rock and the erosion processes that have occurred. Pointed mountain tops are often formed by resistant rocks like granite that erode slowly, while smooth mountain tops can be the result of softer rocks that erode more quickly. Glaciers, wind, and water erosion can also contribute to shaping the tops of mountains.


What is the difference in boiling pure water on a mountain top and at sea level?

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees centigrade. but the boiling point of water at a mountain top will depend on the atmospheric pressure of the air around that mountain top area at the time . if u were to measure the air pressure as u climb a mountain u would notice a change ; a reduction in air pressure . hence as you approach the top of the mountain the air pressure would have been seen to reduce to a much lowe rvalue that that at sea level height . i think it can be as low as 70 degrees centigrade at some mountain tops. in comparison if u had an enclosed metal vessel and made the pressure inside that increase to a very high value, the water would now boil at a much greater temperature , 250 degrees ? maybe .
