<em>"Sedimentary rocks are formed by the pressure over millions of years of organic material, inorganic material, sediment of course , and earth piling up over itself. Metamorphic rock and igneous rock originate either below the surface where plants lived and creatures roamed, or the heat from volcanic activity transformed everything. Sedimentary rock formation is the only geologic activity that permits and allows organic material preservation and hence fossil formation." </em>- <u>Charles Snider, Co-Founder of American Geode (on Quora.com)</u>
Water could be made
to boil at 105 degrees Celsius instead of 100 degrees Celsius by taking
the sample to a higher altitude. Pressure is directly proportional to
temperature. So when you bring water into higher altitude, you are increasing
the external pressure and therefore increase the boiling point.
