Why does the boiling point of water change at high elevation (maybe in Denver, Colorado, the Mile-High City) compared to sea lev

Oksanka [162]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

This is due to a reduction in atmospheric pressure – pressure due to the weight of the overlying air column). Remember that the higher the altitude the lower the air density and subsequently the lower the air pressure.

Therefore when heating water at higher altitude the vapor pressure of the water at the surface overpowers the atmospheric pressure – which is slightly lower than at sea level – even before the water temperatures reach 100 degrees centigrade.

What process produces the sediments that ultimately lead to soil formation
Vikentia [17]
The process by which rocks are broken down to form soil is called weathering. It is divided into 3 types, physical, chemical and biological weathering.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down as a result of physical agitations. It is also called mechanical weathering and during this process the chemical nature of the rock is not affected. Biological weathering has to do with the weakening of rocks and their eventual disintegration as a result of plants and animals activities. Chemical weathering refers to the disintegration of the rock particles as a result of chemical reactions.
