Default NEC question -- can a circuit have both 220v and 110v outlets

I never figured out why the same wire, when wet, has a lower ampacity.
Any clue?

Since the ampacity is based on the temperature at which the insulation
will start to break down, presumably when wet the insulation will
break down at a lower temperature. Just a WAG.
