It changes the temperature at which water boils. The water boils at a lower temperature, so it’s boiling but not AS hot as boiling at lower altitude.

For baking cakes and other things that rise, the lower pressure causes them to rise faster and earlier during the bake, becoming very airy and then collapsing ad becoming a very dense cake.
