At high altitudes, the air is so thin that the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere is not sufficient to keep the air warm enough to melt the snow most of the time.
Not all the mountains have snow.
The warm wind that blows off the Rocky Mountains and causes snow to melt is called a Chinook wind. This type of wind can rapidly raise temperatures and melt snow, providing relief from cold winter conditions in the region.
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).
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
The Himalayan Mountains are the highest mountains in the world. They are covered in snow all year from the altitude. The higher the point, the colder it gets. So, the Himalayan Mountains are so tall that the caps are snow capped all year.
Snow on the cooler, shadowed side of mountains, often remain when other snow has melted.
Not all the mountains have snow.
they begin usually in the mountains from snow melt, but sometimes their origins are in underground springs. All rivers go to the ocean but never come from the ocean. As for lakes, how do you think the water got there? probably snow melt from a nearby mountain.
The mountains you mean? Its because at the altitude they're at the snow doesn't melt off.
Usually snow melt from mountains at the beginning of the river.
The snow melt provides the water for the Colorado River which created the Grand Canyon.
seasonal snow melt
No, not all mountains have snow caps. The presence of snow caps depends on factors such as elevation, latitude, and climate. Mountains in higher latitudes or with higher elevations are more likely to have snow caps year-round.
The warm wind that blows off the Rocky Mountains and causes snow to melt is called a Chinook wind. This type of wind can rapidly raise temperatures and melt snow, providing relief from cold winter conditions in the region.
Mountains, because the area is rich in rain, snow melt, or springs.
A drainage basin is the start of the stream. Sometimes snow caps on mountains melt causing streams and riviers.
Using World Edit, a multiplayer Bukkit plugin, you can do //thaw [radius] to melt all snow and ice in that radius.
