The ITCZ (The Intertropical Convergence Zone), located near the equator, from about 5° north and 5° south, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. Solar heating in the region forces air to rise through convection which results in a great deal of precipitation, which is is a key component of the global circulation system.

What is the meaning of ITCZ?
ITCZ stands for Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and refers to the band of weather that circles the Earth at or near the equator. Weather within the ITCZ can be quite violent as the weather systems from the northern and southern hemispheres converge. Thunderstorms within the ITCZ can reach heights of 80,000 plus feet.

Where can the ITCZ be found?
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a belt of low pressure that circles the Earth near the equator, where trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. It moves seasonally, following the sun's zenith, so it can be found predominantly over the oceans but can also be present over land near the equator.
Most of the worlds deserts occur in what zone?
ITCZ
Why do thunderstorms and rain occur when there is ITCZ?
Because it is near the equator.
