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.
