Why is there snow above the clouds on a mountain ?

Answer 1

Precipitation from the clouds, which hover around the top of the mountain, freezes due to the lower temperatures. And we have snow!

Answer 2

There is no snow above the clouds on a mountain! There is snow falling down from the clouds and snow covering the hills of the mountains!

Answer 3

Although the mountain appears above the clouds, it is actually sometimes within them (when you don't see it). This is when heavy snows blanket the mountain top and faces. Actually, some mountains such as Everest, is thought to get relatively little precipitation.

Snow that does fall from year to year slowly builds up it as it rarely gets a chance to melt. There is almost no soil on the higher elevations of the mountain. The snow you see is usually very old!

Answer 4

The snow fell at a time when the clouds were higher. When you see clouds lower than snow, the clouds are laying lower than snow on that given day.

Answer 5

There are not only one layer of clouds in the atmosphere.Some are low, some are higher. The clouds that are below the snow are a nimbostratus, or cumulus. The snow clouds are cumulonimbus, and produce precipitation.Cirrus clouds, are even higher and are made up of ice crystla.s
