The peak of a mountain near the equator is covered with snow throughout the year?
The high elevation of the mountain allows it to maintain cold temperatures despite its location near the equator. This results in snow accumulation that persists year-round at the peak.
Do all mountains have snow on top?
No, to have snow on top (permanently) the height of the mountain must exceed that of the snow line for the particular latitude at which the mountain is located (the snow line is higher at the equator than it is at the poles). Mountains that do not reach this height are not permanently snow capped (they may have snow on in winter months).
What latitude receives the most indirect radiation?
Equator Receives
Why it is not guaranteed to be hot near the equator?
It is not guaranteed to be hot because of the topography. If there is a mountain on the equator, it will be cool. The two factors of a climate are how close they are to the equator, and the altitude of the area.
Does most of the world receive more rain then snow?
Yes, most of the world receives more rain than snow. This is because snow generally requires colder temperatures, whereas rain can fall in a wider range of temperatures. Areas that are closer to the equator tend to receive more rain, while regions farther from the equator may experience more snow.
Where is the snow capped African mountain which is 3 south of the equator?
mount kilimanjaro
Where can you see snow near the equator in Africa why?

The sierra Nevada receives a small amount of snow in the winter true or false?
That is false. The Sierra Nevada actually receives quite a bit of snow in the winter. The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range.
What mountain lies 3 degrees from the equator and has a snowcap?
Kilimanjaro but the snow cap is/will be gone soon due to climate change.
Name an equatorial mountain with snow?
The only Equatorial mountain with significant snow cover and glaciation is Puncak Jaya in Indonesia, on Kalimantan (formerly called Borneo) 95% of snow and glaciers on Kilimanjaro now having melted away.

What is rain shadow?
Often, the rain or snow falls on only one side of the mountain, the windward side. The other side of the mountain, the leeward side, which receives much less rain or snow. is said to be ' rain shadow'
