The previous poster mentioned Boyle's law.
Liquid is a state of matter where the molecules move fairly freely. Now, all water molecules don't have the same energy. Some have a lot, and some don't. Some just fly off the mass. This is called evaporation. Now, if there was a lot of pressure, the molucules get pushed back into the mass.
With lower air pressure, it is easier for molecules to fly away, reducing the amount of energy to boil.

Since you're learning to learn, look up Boyle's and Charles' law
to find the answer.

AT HIGH ALTITUDES THE PRESSURE IS VERY LOW THAT IS WHY THE WATER TAKES LONG TIME TO BOIL
