define: a) ITCZ B) Jet Stream C) Literacy Rate
Answers
a) The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is an area of low pressure that forms due to the action of the Hadley Cell, where the Northeast Trade Winds meet the Southeast Trade Winds near the Earth’s equator. As these winds converge, moist air is forced upward. This causes water vapour to condense, or be “squeezed” out, as the air cools and rises, resulting in a band of heavy precipitation around the globe.
b) A jet stream is a thin current of air that's several thousand miles wide and several thousand miles long. They're found almost seven miles up in the atmosphere where the troposphere meets the stratosphere at a point called the tropopause.
c) Literacy rate is the total percent of population who can read and write. For example if the literacy rate of a nation is 78, then it implies out of every 100 people 78 are literate. In case of male literacy the percentage of male population out of total population is determined. Similarly female literacy ratio is determined.
heyyy mate here is ur...ans..
1.Itcz(Inter tropical Convergence Zone)....The Itcz is a broad trough of low pressure in equatorial latitudes.This is where the north-east &the South East trade winds converge....
2.Jet stream-These ate a narrow belt of high altitude (above 12000m)westerly winds in the troposphere.
3.Literacy Rate-Literacy rate is the percentage of people who can read &write in a certain country.....
hope it will help you
