Why do interior region like Canadian qauries and great planes US experience extremes in temperature?
i don't know what a "qaury" is. As for the Great Plains, land heats up and cools off faster than large bodies of water. So areas close to the sea have more moderate temperatures (although they can have horrific storms) The interior of a large land mass will experience those extremes.
What is the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone?
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a region near the equator where winds from the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ's movement are the "monsoon seasons" that affect areas in the tropics, as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east along the edge of the ITCZ.
