Can the temperature of water go beyond 100 degrees celsius?

Yes, the temperature of water can exceed 100 degrees Celsius under certain conditions, primarily when it is subjected to increased pressure. In a pressure cooker, for example, water can reach temperatures of around 120 degrees Celsius or higher without boiling. Additionally, superheated water can exist in certain environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents. However, at standard atmospheric pressure, water will boil at 100 degrees Celsius.
