Question
highlight the two factors that influence temperature and climate the most: wind systems, elevation, latitude, continentality, ocean currents, mountain barriers. explain how a region like the andes and mount kilimanjaro can be covered in snow at low latitudes close to the equator?
The main factor is elevation. Higher elevations have lower temperatures. Even near the Equator, the Andes and Mount Kilimanjaro are tall enough for the temperature to drop below the freezing - point, allowing snow to form and remain.

The high elevation of these regions causes the temperature to be low enough for snow to exist despite being at low latitudes close to the Equator.
