Consider the following statements about ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone) and identify the correct one.
It is the zone of low pressure around equator where westerlies converge.
The position of ITCZ remains fixed around the equator all the year round as sun is always overhead at the equator.
The air circulation between ITCZ and the subtropical high is known as Ferrell cell.
None of the given statements is correct.
Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) • It is a belt of converging trade winds and rising air that encircles the Earth near the Equator which is also called equatorial convergence zone. • The location of the ITCZ varies throughout the year and while it remains near the equator, the ITCZ over land ventures farther north or south than the ITCZ over the oceans due to the variation in land temperatures. • The location of the ITCZ can vary as much as 40° to 45° of latitude north or south of the equator based on the pattern of land and ocean. • The ITCZ has been called the doldrums by sailors due to the lack of horizontal air movement (the air simply rises with convection).
