Boiling point of water
In the early 18th century Anders Celsius defined his temperature scale on the melting and boiling temperature of water. You might have been told that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212F) but the boiling point of water actually depends on the oxygen content and atmospheric pressure. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature at which water boils.

water boils at 100 C theoritically(in seacoast) but in altitudes it boils at less than 100(for example 97 or less ,higher altitude=lower tempreture) and that's why water boils sooner there and also because it has lower tempreture than it has in seashore,cereals will be baked later in it!and this is the real scientific reason that we think some cereals are turbulent to be baked!

approx. 212 degrees fahrenheit...not sure if elevation has an effect
