Provided that in each case heat input is the same, boiling takes place more quickly

1) at sea level. 2) in a valley. 3) in the mountains. This is because 4) increased pressure on the surface of a liquid lowers its boiling point. 5) decreased pressure on the surface of a liquid lowers its boiling point. 6) water always boils quickest at sea level.
