Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ

What I learned

• ITCZ is known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds come together.

What i did

• I researched and read articles about it.

I can apply my learning to

• my daily life and easily predict the weather

TRIVIA

• Variation in the location of the intertropical convergence zone drastically affects rainfall in many equatorial nations, resulting in the wet and dry seasons of the tropics rather than the cold and warm seasons of higher latitudes. Longer term changes in the intertropical convergence zone can result in severe droughts or flooding in nearby areas.
