How does the boiling point of water change at high altitude?
AIt falls below 100 C
BIt rises above 100 C
CIt becomes the melting point
DIt stays at exactly 100 C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It falls below 100 C
Atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitude, so water boils at a lower temperature.
