Explanation:

Explanation:  Statement 2 is incorrect: Easterlies converge towards ITCZ from northern and southern hemisphere. Supplementary notes: Formation of Headely cell and role of different winds.

The air at the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) rises because of convection caused by high insolation and a low pressure is created. The winds from the tropics converge at this low pressure zone.  The converged air rises along with the convective cell. It reaches the top of the troposphere up to an altitude of 14 km. and moves towards the poles.  This causes accumulation of air at about 30 degree N and S. Part of the accumulated air sinks to the ground and forms a subtropical high. Another reason for sinking is the cooling of air when it reaches 30 degree N and S latitudes.  Down below near the land surface the air fl ows towards the equator as the easterlies. The easterlies from either side of the equator converge in the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Such circulations from the surface upwards and vice-versa are called cells. Such a cell in the tropics is called Hadley Cell.  Hadley Cells are the low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude.  They are responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude weather patterns.  In the Hadley Cell as an air particle moves toward the high-latitudes, it becomes closer to the Earth’s spin axis, so axis of rotation (r) becomes smaller.
