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 else can I help you with?
What is the density of water affected by?
Temperature and Salinity
What winds converge at ITCZ?
Northeast and southeast trade winds converge at the ITCZ. (Inter-tropical Convergence Zone)
Can enzyme activity be affected by salinity and inhibitors?
Yes, both salinity and inhibitors can affect enzyme activity. There are two types of inhibitors, non-competitive and competitive inhibitors that will either bind to the allosteric or active site respectively.
Why does itcz wind occur?
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) wind occurs due to the convergence of trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres along the equator. This convergence leads to upward motion of warm, moist air, resulting in cloud formation and precipitation. The ITCZ shifts with the seasonal movement of the sun, bringing rain to different regions throughout the year.
How does temperature and salinity effect the stability of water?
Temperature and salinity affect the density of water, which in turn affects its stability. Cold water is denser than warm water, so temperature differences can lead to stratification and stability issues. Salinity also affects density, with higher salinity water being denser. This can drive vertical mixing or stratification patterns in oceans and lakes.
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
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.
What property of water is affected by temperature and salinity?
ocean water
What are ocean currents affected by?
Wind,salinity, salt in water,and temperature
What is found in ITCZ?
Different kinds of Monsoons are found in the ITCZ
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.
What is the relationship between buoyancy and salinity?
Buoyancy is affected by the density of water, which is influenced by its salinity. Higher salinity increases water density, making it more buoyant. As a result, objects float more easily in saltwater compared to freshwater.
What is itcz mean?
Well in Earth Science terms. ITCZ stands for: Intertropical Convergence Zone
How is thermohaline circulation influenced by salinity and temperature?
A: It is driven by density gradients, which are affected by salinity and temperature, with cold water and water with higher salt concentrations being more dense
A thermohaline current is a current which is affected by?
A thermohaline current is affected by differences in water temperature and salinity. These differences drive the circulation of deep ocean waters around the globe, transporting heat and nutrients to different regions and influencing climate patterns.
