During the dive your nose will want to naturally breath in, or take in water so having the nose under the mask helps that NOT to happen. Also if you take on water inside your mask and your nose is not within it will be VERY difficult for you to empty the water.
To empty water from your Scuba mask at depth you simply pull it out from your face and breath out through your nose and this causes the water to pour out. How would you do this if your nose is not enclosed within the mask?
And also so that water doesn't go up your nose. And mouth (it doesn't taste good).

The English verb to snorkel is the actual act of swimming/diving with the snorkel. To say snorkel in German, the verb is schnorcheln, and the noun is der Schnorchel.
