Question

What is ITCZ??? Please give answer in short

Answer 1

The Inter Tropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is a belt of low pressure which circles the Earth generally near the equator where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. It is characterised by convective activity which generates often vigorous thunderstorms over large areas.

Answer 2

ITCZ or Inter-tropical Convergence Zone is a broad trough of low pressure in equatorial latitudes.

This is the area where northeast and southeast trade winds converge

This convergence zone lies more or less parallel to the equator but moves northwards or southwards with themovement of the sun.
