Description:
The correct answer is:
✅ Denver
Why?
Water boils faster at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure:
Denver (~5,280 ft elevation):
Boiling point: ~202°F (94.5°C).
Lower pressure = faster boiling (but cooks food slower!).
New York (~33 ft elevation):
Boiling point: ~212°F (100°C) (standard).
Palm Springs (~476 ft elevation):
Slightly faster than NYC but slower than Denver.
Key Science:
Pressure ↓ → Boiling Point ↓ → Faster Boiling.
However, lower boiling temps mean slower cooking (e.g., pasta takes longer in Denver).
Fun Fact: In the Himalayas (~18,000 ft), water boils at ~185°F (85°C)! 🏔️💦
