Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. With these adjustments in place, the same recipes that once failed on the mountain come out just as reliably as they would at sea level.
  2. Experienced high-altitude cooks compensate by extending cooking times, adding extra liquid, and adjusting leavening agents so that baked goods rise properly despite the thinner air.
  3. Because that cooler boiling point delivers less heat energy to food over the same span of time, dishes simply take longer to finish cooking at altitude.
  4. The culprit is air pressure, which drops as elevation rises and causes water to boil at a lower temperature than it would closer to sea level.
  5. Cooks who move to mountain towns often find that recipes which worked perfectly at sea level suddenly leave rice undercooked and cakes strangely dense.
