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

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 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.

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.
