Explanation:

Considerably decreased

-If the pressure is quickly reduced, the 221°F (105°C) water at normal pressure will now boil. For another example, put water at room temperature into a vacuum chamber and begin removing the air. Eventually, the boiling temperature will fall below the water temperature and boiling will begin without heating.
