Give a brief note on the ‘Inter Tropical Convergence Zone’.
Answer:

  • The Inter Tropical Convergence Zone is a trough of low pressure in equatorial latitudes.
  • This is where the north-west and the south-east trade winds converge.
  • This convergence zone lies more or less parallel to the equator but moves north or south with the apparent movement of the Sun.
