Water boils at alower temperature on the hills because there is a decrease in air pressure on the hills?

Because of the rounded nature of the hills, they function very much like the upper surface of an aircraft wing when there is an airflow (wind) over them. This leads to lower pressure on the hills themselves (in an aircraft this would cause lift). This lower pressure makes it easier for for water to turn from a liquid to a gas (less energy is required for the phase change to occur) and the water boils at a lower temperature

What is the lowest temperature out of 0C -273F 0K?
Zero-K is. I could have told you that right away, even without seeing theothers, because zero-K is Absolute Zero, and there's no such thing as alower temperature. So there might be something else on the list that'stied for lowest, but there can't be anything that's lower.
Are aboriginals included in Australian life expectancy?
Australian aboriginals have alower average lifespan then other Australians because of grinding poverty enjoyed by so many of their people
What is the advantage of multiple effect evaporators over single effect evaporator?
energy is economised since the evaporator at alower pressure heats the following effect
Why does iodine have alower average atomic mass that tellurium?
It has a lower atomic number because it has less protons in the nucleus, it has a lower mass number because it has less neutrons and protons in the nucleus. Electrons aren't considered in any of these numbers because they only weigh about 1/2000 of a proton - they are almost weightless, even compared to an atom.

How many atria and ventricles do you find in a fish heart?
2, the atria is the upper chamber of the heart. since there is alower and upper chamber in the heart, and the upper part is the atria, do the math: four chamber divided in half (two lower and two upper and 2+2=4) equals two which gives the the number of atria!
What is remission meaning?
Cancer remission is often thought to mean that the cancer has been cured. However, this is not always true. There are different classifications of remission - complete and partial remission. Complete remission means that there are no signs or symptoms of cancer. This can mean the cancer has been cured, or cancer may still be present in the body. Partial remission refers to the point when few signs and symptoms of cancer remain, however there is a noticeable decrease of cancer cells.
Does coal produce energy?
Coal does not produce energy. Think of coal (or any current fuel source) as a storage medium similar to a battery, or even a mass at a height. The potential energy that can be released is finite, but available for use. All that is required are the proper conditions to do so. These conditions are: Sufficient Heat to provide the energy needed to break enough of the carbon and hydrogen bonds so that the process becomes self sustaining. Sufficent Oxygen so that the carbon and hydrogen bonds and creates molecules at alower energy level. So Where did the energy come from that is stored in the coal. Eventually it can be traced back to sunlight that was absorbed by plants and used to create carbon hydrogen molecules.

A beam of light emerges from water into air at an angle the beam is bent toward the normal?
Light slows down when it goes from a less dense material to a more dense material.Draw yourself a diagram:Air on the top; water underneath. (a horizontal line separates the two phases)Draw a perpendicular line, this is a line at right angles to the interface between the two phases. This line is called the normal angle.Now draw a straight line arrow at an angle that goes from the air into the water and strikes the water at exactly the same point as the normal does.This is called the incident ray. It will not go straight but will bend towards the normal in the denser medium.In summary:The diagram consists of three lines - horizontal line separating the phases; a vertical line called the normal; the incident ray that strikes the horizontal line at the same point as the normal but will change angle at that point. The angle is smaller with the normal than what it would have been if there had not been a change in density.
What is a typical chain of command aboard a US nuclear submarine?
It depends on the boat type (SSBN, SSGN, or SSN) as far as the rank of the Commanding Officer, but the CoC is essentially the same. It's not much different than other afloat commands in the Navy, though as with all nuclear-powered vessels, the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer must both have previously been qualified and successfully served aboard another vessel as an Engineer Officer.Note:The Ship's Corpsman (Doc) reports directly to the CO/XO.The Chief of the Boat reports directly to the CO/XO. Thoughthe COB's rank is typically a Master Chief (E-9), it can be alower rank, such as a Senior Chief (E-8). Regardless of rank,the COB is by virtue of position as COB the most senior rankedenlisted member aboard ship.Commanding Officer(Captain or Commander, depending on boat type)|Executive Officer(Commander or Lt. Commander)|Engineer Officer(Lt. Commander)|Weapons Officer - Navigator - Supply Officer(Lt. or Lt. Commander)|Division Assistants(Junior Officers, in charge of individual Divisions)(Lt., Lt.(j.g.), Ensign)|Chief of the Boat(Senior Enlisted Aboard Ship)|Division Leading Petty Officers (LPO's)(Chiefs or Senior Petty Officers)|Rated Sailors Qualified in Submarines|FLOB's / NUG's(Free-Loading Oxygen Breathers / New Useless Guyswho aren't yet Submarine Qualified)
