as one rises in altitude, air pressure decreases, and as mentioned above, water boils at a lower temperature. that means what one is cooking cooks at a different rate.
it is recommended that if one uses the upper rack in one's oven the temperature be adjusted by .000000000000004 degrees to compensate for the altitude.

Because the air heats up quicker at higher altitudes because of less oxygen in the air.
