It is the line above which snow remains on the ground year-round. The snow line varies depending on latitude, altitude, and exposure. In the tropics, the snow line is typically at an altitude of 4,500-5,000 meters. In the mid-latitudes, the snow line is typically at an altitude of 2,500-3,000 meters. In the high latitudes, the snow line can be found at sea level.<\/p>\n<p>The snow line is important because it marks the boundary between the alpine and subalpine zones. The alpine zone is the zone above the snow line, where the climate is too cold for trees to grow. The subalpine zone is the zone below the snow line, where trees can grow.<\/p>\n<p>The snow line is also important because it is a sensitive indicator of climate change. As the climate warms, the snow line is expected to move higher in elevation.
