Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is where the convergence of air from north and south around the equator. ITCZ occur along the equatorial, continuously. Heat from the Sun causes the air to expanded and rises up to the atmosphere, in mass, result in precipitation. With the constant heat supply from the Sun and precipitation, ITCZ is a zone where is constantly hot and humid.
The precipitation has caused the sea water salinity to be lower explained the lower SSS around equator but SST remain to be high. However, the ITCZ will shift its location from time to time according to season as it only occur in the area with intense sunlight. Thus, in tropical area, there will have a season with high precipitation and causes the SSS to

What is the density of water affected by?
Temperature and Salinity
Why does itcz wind occur?
why ITCZ occur
How does temperature and salinity effect the stability of water?
The chemical stability of water is not affected by the salinity; also water decompose at very high temperatures.
What major ocean can be affected by global warming?
Any of them. They all react to temperature and change in salinity.
What winds converge at ITCZ?
Northeast and southeast trade winds converge at the ITCZ. (Inter-tropical Convergence Zone)
What countries in the Caribbean are affected by the itcz?
which countries in the carribbea are not affected by itcz
Why is Guyana more frequently affected by the ITCZ than Saint Lucia?
Guyana is more affected because it is within the ITCZ zone, 10- 12 degrees North of the Equator, St Lucia is just outside that area at 13 degrees North, So Guyana will feel the full brunt of the ITCZ than St Lucia answered by a QRC.....Trini
The size of a wave is not affected by the?
salinity of the water
What is the density of water affected by?
Temperature and Salinity
How salinity effects on plants?
plants affected by salinity grow more slowly and are,therefore,stunted.
A thermohaline current is a current which is affected by?
Temperature and salinity
Why does itcz wind occur?
why ITCZ occur
What property of water is affected by temperature and salinity?
ocean water
What is found in ITCZ?
Different kinds of Monsoons are found in the ITCZ
What are ocean currents affected by?
Wind,salinity, salt in water,and temperature
How does temperature and salinity effect the stability of water?
The chemical stability of water is not affected by the salinity; also water decompose at very high temperatures.
What affects density more temperature or salinity?
Density is affected by both temperature and salinity. The colder the temperature and the saltier the substance, the greater the density.
