Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ-pronounced “itch") appears as a band of clouds consisting of showers, with occasional thunderstorms, that encircles the globe near the equator. The solid band of clouds may extend for many hundreds of miles and is sometimes broken into smaller line segments.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ITCZ is known by sailors as the doldrums because of its windless weather. It is in this area that the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. Therefore, the name Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
Detailed explanation-4: -(i) The ITCZ is a zone of convergence of North-East and the South-East trade wind. (ii) The Northward or Southward movement of it determines the spatial distribution of rainfall. (iii) This zone is the wettest area on the planet, which does not have a dry season.
