My doubt is about Sundering Titan; what happens when it enters and leaves the battlefield if there are snow lands in play? Does it destroy basic lands and snow basic lands and how much of each of them?

Yes, it can destroy both snow-covered basic lands and non-snow-covered basic lands. It's up to Sundering Titan's controller; he or she must choose one land of each basic type (Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, Forest) (provided such a land is present on the battlefield). Snow-covered lands have basic land types, so the Titan's controller can choose them as well, but he/she can't destroy e.g. a Mountain and a Snow-covered Mountain during the same effect.

  It doesn't even have to be a basic land, just to contain a basic type. A gate for example, which is a nonbasic land, can be picked twice. You pick basic landtypes, not necessarily basic lands.

"Snow" is a supertype. If you look at Snow-Covered Plains you will see that it's types are "Snow Basic Land - Plains". Which means that it counts as a basic land and a plains.

So in the case of Sundering Titan, if there was both a regular Plains card and a Snow Covered Plains out, you could only choose one of them to destroy.

Relevant rules:
From the comprehensive rules glossary

Basic Land Type There are five "basic land types": Plains, Island,
Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. Each one has a mana ability associated
with it. See rule 305, "Lands."

And

205.4c Any land with the supertype "basic" is a basic land. Any land that doesn't have this supertype is a nonbasic land, even if it has a
basic land type.: Cards printed in sets prior to the Eighth Edition
core set didn't use the word "basic" to indicate a basic land. Cards
from those sets with the following names are basic lands and have
received errata in the Oracle card reference accordingly: Forest,
Island, Mountain, Plains, Swamp, Snow-Covered Forest, Snow-Covered
Island, Snow-Covered Mountain, Snow-Covered Plains, and Snow-Covered
Swamp.

And from the rulings on Snow Covered Plains:

“Snow” has no particular meaning or rules associated with it.

Also (emphasis mine)

Since this is a basic land, you may have any number of it in a
Constructed deck in any format in which the Masters Edition II set,
the Coldsnap set, or the Ice Age set is legal.
