Answer: Superheating

Step-by-step explanation:

Water can be heated above it boiling point without boiling by increasing the pressure. This process is known as super heating. By increasing the pressure, the temperature above boiling point can be achieved yet no vaporization occurs. It is a meta-stable state. Boiling can occur at any point when induced external or internal factors.
