Dear student,
In the hills the atmospheric pressure is lower than in the plains and therefore water boils at a temperature lower than the 100oC causing an increase in cooking time. ... Due to low atmospheric pressure on the hills, the water boils at a temperature higher than 100oCand therefore water takes longer to boil.
