The intertropical convergence zone ITCZ is associated with what?
subtropical high-pressure development.
Where do northeast and southeast trade winds meet?
The equator, better known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone; ITCZ.
What is the science of the weather called?
Meteorology is the study of the weather at any given place or area, and forecasting the weather to come. Climatology is the study of world-wide climate, its causes (e.g. ITCZ - Intertropical convergence zone - and coriolis) and effects (such as typhoon, hurricane, monsoon, El Nino) etc.

How is monsoon circulation affected by the position of the ITCZ?
ITCZ represent the band of low pressure belt around the globe, usually centered at equator, but follow the vertical sun with season. Since the winds are moved towards zones of lowest pressures, the ITCZ is the location where equatorial winds on either hemispheres merge, resulting in rising of air there and formation of cloud bands. During summer, sun is migrates to the north of equator and hence the ITCZ follows the sun. As a result the southeast trade winds (easterly winds) cross the equator towards the low pressure ITCZ. On crossing equator, the wind turn to the right in the northern hemisphere due to Coriolis force and blow as southeasterly winds. These winds blowing over ocean brings abundant moisture along with it. Hence when the ITCZ is over continental landmass of India, the moisture laden winds blow across the continent, where the geographical reliefs like Western Ghats and Himalayas cause the air to rise. Accompanied by the rising of moisture laden air, adiabatic cooling and condensation occurs at heights which triggers rainfall over Indian landmass.
The intertropical convergence zone ITCZ is associated with what?
subtropical high-pressure development.
What is itcz mean?
Well in Earth Science terms. ITCZ stands for: Intertropical Convergence Zone
Does the Intertropical Convergence Zone have high pressure with rising air?
Low pressure is associated with rising air. The ITCZ is an area of low pressure.
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.
Where do northeast and southeast trade winds meet?
The equator, better known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone; ITCZ.
Where can the ITCZ be found?
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together.
Does the intertropical convergence lies along the subtropical jet stream?
The subtropical jet lies just poleward of the ITCZ.
What is the low pressure zone at the equator?
Is most of the air movement in the intertropical convergence zone horizontal or vertical?
The ITCZ is where a lot of air rises and precipitates - vertical motion.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone is .?
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.
At what two times of the year is the Intertropical Convergence Belt over the Equator?
The equinoxes (vernal, or spring, and autumnal, or fall) are when the Sun appears to travel directly overhead at the equator. Shortly thereafter, the intertropical convergence belt (ITCZ) will align most directly along the equator.
What are intertropical convergence zone?
The intertropical convergence zones are areas directly along the equator where winds from the northern and Southern Hemisphere interact, usually as masses of clouds and thunderstorms.
