Question

Distinguish between snowline and treeline (in 2 points)

Answer 1

The climatic snow line is the boundary between a snow-covered and snow-free surface. The actual snow line may adjust seasonally, and be either significantly higher in elevation, or lower. The permanent snow line is the level above which snow will lie all year.

The tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. It is found at high elevations and high latitudes. Beyond the tree line, trees cannot tolerate the environmental conditions (usually cold temperatures or associated lack of available moisture).[1]:51 The tree line is sometimes distinguished from a lowertimberline or forest line, which is the line where trees form a forest with a closed canopy.[2]:1

Answer 2

Distinguish between snowline and treeline

Explanation:

• The snowline is a boundary between the snow cover and snow ree surface and the actual lie may adjust to the seasonality and may be either significant in higher elevations and above this line the snow and remains throughout the year. The snow lie may have different temporal and spatial variations and is subject to the climatic variations.

• While the treeline is the zone were the trees can grow, and is found at the greater elevations and the lower lie are called as the timberline for the forest lines. At the tree line, the tree growth is often sparse and stunted and is deformed by the sold winds.

• There are different type of the tree line as the alpine and the desert and the arctic and the antarctic and other lines are associated with the salinity variations. The snow lines goes on increasing with the gain of the altitude and decrease with the low latitude in the north.
