Which are the permanent snow capped mountains within sight of the equator?
Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the only permanent snow cap within sight of the equator.
Do giant pandas sleep in caves on mountains?
Pandas live on high elevations in the misty mountains of central China. Where they sleep depends on what they can find. Pandas do not have a permanent home. They sleep in rock caves, tree stumps, or anything else they can find.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Why does new zealand have snow?
In the North Island there are two mountains which because of their height, have some permanent snow, Mt Egmont, and Mt Ruapehu. In the South Island there are many chains of 'permanent snow' mountains. Too many individual mounts to mention. In winter we have snow, occasionally to sea level in the South, for the latitude goes up to about 47o. Naturally our seasons are six months out of sync with the Northern Hemisphere.
The name colonists gave to the rugged land near the appalachian Mountains?
The name colonists gave to the rugged land near the Appalachian Mountains was the "Backcountry." This region was sparsely populated and characterized by its rough terrain, making it difficult for settlers to establish permanent settlements.
Are there cold places around the equartor?
yes, if you go high enough. Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro both have permanent snow on their tops, and the mountains of Sri Lanka get frosty in winter.
Why does Kenya have snow-tipped mountains?
Kenya has snow-tipped mountains such as Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro due to their high elevation and the presence of glaciers at the peaks. These mountains are located near the equator, but their elevation creates colder temperatures at the summit, allowing snow to accumulate.
Is a geography and photograph the same thing?
Not even close. Geography is a study of the physical components of land- mountains, valley, plains, rivers, oceans. A photograph is a permanent copy of a visual image.
Where are the snow capped mountains in south America?
The snow-capped mountains in South America are mainly found in the Andes mountain range, which runs along the western side of the continent. Some of the highest peaks with permanent snow cover include Aconcagua in Argentina, Huascarán in Peru, and Chimborazo in Ecuador.
What separates the beginnings of rivers in the rocky mountains?
Higher elevation. Ridges separate rivers, which at their most elemental level are runoff (from springs or precipitation). As patterns of runoff converge, permanent streams form.
Is landform a permanent feature?
They are often long term, but not permanent. Over long periods of time, some can change, like mountains growing slowly. Sometimes change can be more sudden, like rockfalls causing damage, earthquakes changing a landform, volcanoes spewing out lava to create new landforms and so on.
How is the weather near mountain areas?
It really depends on where they are located. Like the Rocky Mountains are very warm and sometimes hot, and the Appalachian Mountains are not that hot. Canadian Rockies have glaciers and permanent snowcover ( not hot at all ). The rivers flowing off them are ice blue in colour, indicating liquid ice cubes.
