How elevation and air pressure affects the boiling point
Briefly state how does the elevation and air pressure affects the boiling point of water?
Expert
The mere factor which recognizes the boiling point of water at any altitude is the barometric pressure (that is, the altitude itself does not really matter; it is just that at higher elevation, the barometric pressure generally drops). Though, water will boil at two distinct temperatures at similar elevation if you are in a high pressure weather system rather than a low pressure system.

Heat pumps move heat from one place to another. They work similar to refrigeration. The movement of heat takes energy, either electrical energy as in the use of vapor compression heat pumps or thermal energy as in the use of absorption heat pump
