Lots of mountains have snow all the year round.

The mountain just has to be high enough that the average temperature is below 0°C most of the year, and the few days in summer which are above 0°C are not enough to melt all the snow which fell during the long winter.

Examples are the Himalayes, the Andes, the Alps etc.

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.

Where in Africa can you find ice year round?

I believe that Mt. Kilamajaro is in Africa somewhere, and given its height, being a mountain, it probably has snow all year round. Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, Africa, is Africa's highest mountain. Although it very close to the equator it is high enough that the temperature on the summit remains below freezing all year round. On top there is snow and small but permanent glacier of ice. Yep you can find it on Mount Kilimanjaro which is 19340 feet.


Is a mountain that receives snow year round will be most likely to produce rock?

A mountain that receives snow year-round is more likely to produce rock through processes such as freeze-thaw weathering and glacial activity. The constant presence of snow can lead to the formation of glaciers, which erode the mountain's surface and transport rock debris. Additionally, the freeze-thaw cycles can cause rocks to crack and break down into smaller particles. However, the actual production of rock also depends on other geological factors, such as the mountain's composition and age.


Is there snow on Mt Rainier year 'round?

Yes, there are many glaciers on the mountain above about 8,000 feet where snow and ice don't melt. Hundreds of inches fall every year on Paradise Ranger station which is around 5500 feet, and it often doesn't completely melt until late June or July at that elevation. But it does all melt. You have to get above 7-8 thousand feet, depending on the year, to find snow that does not melt.
