The interplay of altitude and latitude affects the precise placement of the snow line at a particular location. At or near the equator, it is typically situated at approximately 4,500 meters (or about 15,000 feet) above sea level. As one moves towards the Tropic of Cancerand Tropic of Capricorn, the parameter at first increases: in the Himalayas the permanent snow line can be as high as 5,700 metres (18,700 feet), whilst on the Tropic of Capricorn no permanent snow exists at all in the Andes because of the extreme aridity. Beyond the Tropics the snow line becomes progressively lower as the latitude increases, to just below 3,000 metres in the Alps and falling all the way to sea level itself at the ice caps near the poles

The snow lines of Earth’s polar regions are found at sea level and evidencing the presence of ice caps.
Explanation:
- The snow line is considered a line that is used for separating the areas covered with snow and without snow.
- This line is formed at 3,500 meters from the sea level. This snow line is created on the basis of latitude and drawn on the globe.
- For example, in the Himalayas region, snow line levels are high at 18,700 feet that is the maximum height of the snow line region.
- In the Polar regions of the Earth, the latitude is hiding because it is reaching the altitude position.
