Question

What do you mean by latitude??
Explain ITCZ???

Answer 1

hy...

its a imaginary lines.

& its a horizontal division of lines.

$\huge \bold{itcz}$
stands for :

inter tropical convergence zone .it is a belt of lower pressure which circles the earth.

Answer 2

It is a zone between the northern and southern hemisphere where winds blowing equator-ward from the mid latitudes and winds flowing poleward from the tropics meet. It shifts from north and south seasonally according to the movement of the Sun. For Example- when the ITCZ is shifted to north of the Equator, the southeast trade wind changes to a southwest wind as it crosses the Equator. The ITCZ shifts only between 40° to 45° of latitude north or south of the equator based on the pattern of land and ocean.

ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) is caused by the convergence of northeast and southeast trade winds in the area encircling Earth near the Equator. For better understanding, we must know about the trade winds and air masses.

1. Trade Winds: Easterly winds that circle the Earth near the equator.

2. Air Masses: A volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapour content. In tropical latitudes this air mass is hot to very hot, with high relative humidity, bringing unstable weather.

It appears as a band of clouds consisting of showers, with occasional thunderstorms, that encircles the globe near the equator due to the convergence of the trade winds.
