- 1There is an increase in atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes which leads to a lowering of the boiling point of water.
- 2There is a decrease in atmospheric pressure at high altitudes which leads to a lowering of the boiling point of water.✓
- 3The energy required to heat water increases at higher altitudes leading to a lowering of the boiling point of water.
- 4The energy required for boiling water is higher at higher altitudes due to low temperature leading to a lowering of the boiling point.
Correct answer
There is a decrease in atmospheric pressure at high altitudes which leads to a lowering of the boiling point of water.
