The southern Andes have glaciers primarily due to their higher elevations and colder temperatures, which allow snow to accumulate and persist year-round. In contrast, the northern Andes experience a warmer climate with higher humidity, creating conditions suitable for lush rainforests. The varied topography and climatic zones along the Andes contribute to this stark contrast in ecosystems, reflecting the influence of altitude and latitude on local weather patterns.
