Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) is a band of low pressure around the Earth's equator where trade winds converge. This convergence results in rising air and formation of clouds, leading to heavy precipitation. As the ITCZ shifts between the northern and southern hemispheres throughout the year, it brings heavy cloud cover and precipitation with it.
