Generally speaking, the higher up you go in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. When you get more than a few miles above sea level, it is perpetually below freezing, no matter where in the world you are.

What factor causes a mountaintop in a warm region to be covered with snow?

Temperature decreases with altitude because pressure decreases. This is the primary reason you can get snow at low latitudes but at high elevations. At elevations above 15-20,000 feet, you can even have glaciers, which is essentially snow that falls and doesn't melt.

Why the polar zone is more cold than tropical zone?

Because in the tropics is closer to the middle of the earth than the poles. Imagine you held a torch at a globe, the top and the bottom would get the least light, and the middle would get the most. I'm not saying the equator is the hottest part of the Earth all the time and that is because of the Earth's tilt. If the earth was not at a tilt, the equator would be the hottest part of the Earth. In the poles, they get less sunlight than in the tropics. I don't mean that the poles have longer nights and shorter days than the tropics, but the rays of the sun shine much more strongly in the tropics, and the rays create lots of heat. Without the sun, our world would be cold, dark and lifeless. Rays that shine strongly create lots of heat. Imagine your weather is a Sub-tropical climate like the Meditteranean or even a Tropical Climate like the Caribbean, the rays in your part of the Earth will shine more strongly than where I live in Britain so the part that you live in will get more heat than the part of the world that I live in because it's closer to the middle of the Earth, but if you live close to the Arctic Circle or even in the Arctic Circle or if you live in Antarctica, the sun will shine less strongly than where I live because I'm closer to the equator than you are.

Was the Jurassic time period too hot to live in?

No... it would have felt like the tropics or subtropics as far north as what is now Wyoming, and probably even farther, and even Antarctica wouldn't have been covered in glaciers, having a habitat more like that of modern Alaska.
