No, movement of plates are not dependent on latitude.
In order for you to achieve the environmental conditions you are talking about would to increase your tilt greater than 23.5 degrees, and specify the size of the orbital plane. Remember, we experience winter when we are tilted away from the earth, not because we are further away.
