Question

Write down the three important features of inter tropical convergence zone

Answer 1

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling Earth near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. ... When it lies near the Equator, it is called the near-equatorial trough.






The Intertropical Convergence Zone. The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is the region that circles the Earth, near the equator, where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. ... Longer term changes in the ITCZ can result in severe droughts or flooding in nearby areas.



The ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) play important role in the global circulation system and also known as the Equatorial Convergence Zone or Intertropical Front. It is a basically low pressure belt encircling Earth near the Equator. It is a zone of convergence where the trade winds meet.

The result is that the Intertropical Convergence Zone has low air pressure near the Earth's surface. The lack of horizontal wind movement in the region caused sailors to nickname the Intertropical Convergence Zone, "the doldrums
