The equatorial belt of low pressure and heavy rainfall is called the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This zone is characterized by the convergence of trade winds from both hemispheres, leading to upward motion, cloud formation, and precipitation.

The low pressure wind belt located in the equatorial regions is called the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This area is known for its rising warm, moist air that creates a belt of low pressure and convergence of trade winds.
The equator is an intensely heated throughout the year . Due to the intense heating the air in this region becomes warm and light and it rises above creating a partial vacuum .(As you know vacuum leads to decrease in air pressure) As a result a region of permanent low pressure is created called the equatorial low pressure belt.
in equitorial low pressure belt , low pressure is due to 1) intense heating 2) rate of rotation of earth is max. at equator . this results in max centrifugal force at equator which pushes the air away from the surface and causes low pressure condition.
temperate cyclones causes rainfall. westerlies are strong winds..............
Africa is the continent that occupies the largest area in the equatorial belt. It is located near the equator and is bisected by the prime meridian, making it an equatorial continent.
The uneven heating of the earth produces pressure belts. these belts occur at about every 30 degrees latitude. The rotation of the Earth flings the bulk of the air creating an area of low pressure belt in this region.
...the high-pressure belts known as the subtropical highs, such as the North Pacific High and the Azores High.
The north polar high-pressure belt typically experiences very little rainfall due to its stable atmospheric conditions. The high-pressure system suppresses cloud formation and precipitation, resulting in arid conditions. Any precipitation that does occur is usually in the form of light snow. Overall, this region is characterized by dry air and minimal moisture throughout the year.
