Question

what does altitude do to the liquid on earth

Answer 1

The higher the altitude the easier it is for liquid to boil or evaporate.

Answer 2

Due to a decrease in pressure the boiling point goes down. At a high enough altitude, water will boil even at room temperature and convert to gaseous form. This is why a person in Denver, Colorado has to boil their potatoes longer than a person living in Miami. The extra mile in elevation makes a substantial difference. The water in your pot in Denver will boil at temperatures below 100 C, therefore you must boil them LONGER! At an altitude of about 100,000 feet or so water would boil away at near room termperature, yet you could place your hand in it without being harmed!

And unfortunately, without a pressurized cabin, so likewise will the water in your blood boil causing a very painful type of death similar to the Bends.

Answer 3

The liquid on earth? Didnt know there only was one.

For all liquids is that their boiling point is at a lower temperature at lower pressure and the higer altitude you are at the lower the pressure.

Answer 4

It does boil at a lower temp, but it also freezes at altitudes, that is if it is 70 degrees F below a mountian range and you carry that water up to the top of that mountian it will freeze,

Answer 5

The previous answers are correct, it has everything to do with atmospheric pressure (if the liquid you are talking about is water). Other liquids will be affected by the pressure change to the greater or lesser extents depending on their vapor pressure.
