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.
How does the ITCZ affects the Caribbean?

Describe the weather along the Intertropical Convergence Zone ITCZ Why does this weather occur along this?
The weather along the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is characterized by abundant rainfall, cloudiness, and active thunderstorms. This is because the ITCZ is the area where the trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge, resulting in a lifting of warm, moist air and the formation of clouds and precipitation. The intense heating near the equator contributes to the formation of the ITCZ.
Which type of cloud would dominate the weather in a region under the ITCZ?

Relation between ITCZ and easterly jet streams?
The ITCZ is a convergence zone for the currents and it is situated along the equator. The easterly jet streams and the other winds that blow from the tropical end up converging at the ITCZ.
How do the Andes affect south America?
In terms of weather, the region on the right of the mountain (leeward side) would be drier, due to rain-shadow effect. However, since ITCZ is located near the Latitude where the Amazon exists, that region is wet. (ITCZ is intertropical convergence zone, and is associated with wet weather, a band located near the equator, though it shifts up during the summer, and drops to near equator in the winter)
