Answer:

When liquid is heated, the temperature stops rising at the liquid's Boiling Point .

Explanation:

Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which pressure applied by the surroundings upon a liquid is normalised by the pressure applied by the vapour of the liquid. Under this condition, heating of the liquid transforms the liquid into its vapour without raise in the temperature .

The pressure of the vapour increases when temperature is increased. The liquid starts forming bubbles of vapour and move towards the surface at its boiling point. Based on the Pressure applied liquid have different boiling points. Higher the altitude, lower the boilng point temperature.
