Use your own words to describe the zones of accumulation and wastage. How does the snowline elevation change if climate changes?
What will be an ideal response?
The snowline is the elevation above where snow persists throughout the year. The snowline is the boundary between the zone of accumulation, where winter snowfall exceeds summer melting, and the zone of wastage, where melting exceeds winter snowfall. If the climate becomes cooler, then the snowline descends to a lower elevation. If the climate becomes warmer, the snowline shifts to a higher elevation.
