At higher altitudes the boiling point of water decreases because

Answered by admin @



As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases because air is less dense at higher altitudes. Because the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapour pressure of the liquid needs to be lower to reach boiling point. ... Theboiling point is lower at higher altitude.
