Compare the bouiling pioint of water at sea level{Metro Manila}and in a mountain top{Baguio City}. Explain?

This has been asked over and over recently. Is this part of an exam or a class?\n\nBoiling point decreases with altitude because there is less pressure. The water will boil when the vapor pressure equals the air pressure. \n\nBaguio city is about 1500-1600 meters above sea level, making its temperatures roughly 8 degrees C less than the sea level areas of the Phillipines. For every 1000 feet in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases about 1 degree C. Very roughly, Baguio city is at 4500 feet elevation. The boiling point of water at Baguio city should be about 4.5 degrees C less than 100 degrees C, or 95.5 degrees C.

I would think that the river level is mesaured in metres from the river bed. Thne they can accurately say this river peaked at 9 metres. Hope that helps

It means 6 cm irrespective of area. Take any container, and let rain fall in it. Whatever be the area of cross-section of the container, the same height the water will reach. This is because lesser the area, lesser the area, lesser rain enters, but faster does the water level rise.\nThe total amt. of water collected can be found by multiplying the area of the container with the height of water.

Andes mountains are taller, the stream systems are straight, and the amount of distance between the mountains and the shoreline are different.  ie most of the distance to the shoreline was once up on the mountains.

It's called Blazon Gap. It's a natural feature. The ridge is Oyster Ridge.

At a higher altitude, water boils at a lower temperature, because the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the liquid's vapor pressure equals that of the atmosphere.  At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level.\n\nSo it doesn't actually boil "faster", it reaches each temperature at the same rate on a mountain as at the seashore.  It's just that the temperature needed to boil it on the mountain is lower.

Imagine a column of water.  The pressure is higher at the bottom of the column because of all the water above it pushing down.  Now, a closed water system can be treated as a column for determining the water pressure.  You measure from the highest point that water is in the system down to the height of the place where you taking the measurement.  \n\nIf the water tower is 200 feet tall and the building is 90 feet tall, the people on the top of the building will have 110 foot column forming their water pressure.  People in the bottom of the building will have the full 200 foot tall column of water forming their water pressure.  \n\nBecause we are dealing with a fluid, the water can exert its force around corners and the column doesn't have to really be straight up and down.  It can even have u-turns and loops.  All that really matters is the height of the faucet relative to the water level in the reservoir.

Ok rain and snow are part of it lol. The other is springs or ground water table.\nThe water table does not go by flat land or mountains lol. It is like a sponge that is soaked up with water and you fold it wat is still there but you got low water table with it and and you got high water table with it . Kinda goes with the land construe.\nFor an example If you drill a well on low flat land you may have to go down say 90 ft. When you drill on mountain you may only have to go down 45ft.

p=F/A \n\nSo, you have the pressure of the atmosphere pluss the weight of the water above you.  Which is usually figured as a cylinder.  Hope that helps.

Water is denser than air and transfers heat more rapidly.

First, a high elevation on Earth is not that much closer to the sun than sea level is when you consider the great distance from Earth to the sun.\n\nThe temperature changes have to do with air pressure... there is less of an atmosphere to hold in the heat at a high elevation than there is at sea level.  You might notice that cities at high elevation also have widely varying temperatures between day and night.  Here it will warm up in the day easily without much atmosphere to reflect energy from the sun, but at night it's like just having a sheet over you--the heat escapes easily.  At sea level you will warm up more slowly but hold that heat in much longer because you have a giant blanket of atmosphere over you, and higher air pressure to maintain the heat.  \n\nAlso at sea level, if you are by the sea, you have the added effect of the ocean or sea keeping the air temperate (around the same temperature all the time) since water maintains it temperature better than the air.

Not sure, but I know La Paz (capital of Bolivia) is 4000m about sea level because I was there and had really bad altitude sickness!

Water (rain, snow, dew, ...) which ends up higher than sea level will flow toward the sea if there is any possible path. Since even a mountainous 'bowl' is likely to have a porous bottom, or to fill enough to find an outlet, there will almost always be a flow to lower levels. \n\nFlowing water is not a neglibible force. It will, over geologic time move, dissolve, pulverize, and remove material. Freeze/thaw cycles contribute more than a bit; the Old Stone Face in new Hampshire in N America has recently fallen (literally) to this. Some of that material will be dropped downstream, filling in an existing channel. Spring floods (in places in which snow and ice accumulate on high ground) will provide an annual increase in this erosion, and if they break over channel banks, will accelerate the deposition process (eg, the Nile floods until the installation of dams to stop them). \n\nOver geologic time, a stream (or river) will fill channels repeatedly and will find new flow paths after doing so. What with dumping material from higher levels, and doing it in channels here and there across the gap between highlands, there will be a gradual acretion of soil in that gap. \n\nEventually, the flowing water, combined on occasion with wind and plant and animal soil processing (earthworms, for instance), there will be a more or less level filiing of the gap between highlands, with water flowing across it on the way to the sea. \n\nThat space, with a history more or less as sketched is a valley. Tehy can be narrow (a kilometer or less) or wide (several hundred kilometes). In fact, they can be so wide that it's not possible for a human to see both highlands between which the water flows at the same time. Valleys can also be very long if the highlands are arranged to permit. Consider the Nile, the Danube, the Volga, the Mississippi, or the Ganges. \n\nIn short, highlands erode, flatten out, and fill in the gaps between them. This can be seen in Britain (whose hills and mountains wer once higher) and in the North American Appalacians (whcih were once very very impressively tall). The N American Rockies, S American Andes, and Asian Himalyas are examples of the early stages in this process. Some millions of years hence, all three of these mountain ranges will be much lower and rounder.
