Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The snow line is an irregular line located along the ground surface where the accumulation of snowfall equals ablation (melting and evaporation). ... During glacial periods, the climatic snow line was from 600 to 1,200 m (2,000 to 4,000 feet) lower than at present.
