Question

    What happens to the boiling point of water at higher

    altitudes?
    A It increases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B It decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C It remains the same Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It fluctuates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    At higher altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower, reducing the boiling point of water because less heat is required to make the water molecules escape as vapor.
