READ THE SHORT TEXT BELOW AND ANSWER THE GIVEN QUESTIONS.

Danilo decided to go to a camping site at the top of a mountain. He wanted to drink a cup of coffee, so he boiled some water. He notices that the water boils faster. After some time, he cooks noodles with eggs. He waited for a long time for the dish to cook. He thinks that maybe cooking at the top of the mountain takes longer than cooking down in the mountain.

1. Why do you think the water boils faster at the top of the mountain?

2. Do you agree with Danilo that cooking takes longer time at the top of the mountain? Justify your answer. ​​​


Sagot :

1.At a higher elevation, the lower atmospheric pressure means heated water reaches its boiling point more quickly at a lower temperature.

2.As humans, we know we have to eat to survive. With the modern conveniences of restaurants and packaged and prepared foods at grocery stores, we don't really need to know how to cook in order to keep ourselves fed.
