ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone)

1. What I did was to study about the ITCZ and other lessons that are connected about the ITCZ.

2. I learned that the ITCZ is known “doldrums” by sailors.

3. I can apply my learning to my daily life when watching weather forecast and said there is an ITCZ, I can prepare myself and my family if there is a chance that it can generate Tropical Depression.

Trivia:

-The ITCZ appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms that circle the globe near the equator. 

-In the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds move in a southwestern direction from the northeast, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they move northwestward from the southeast. 

-ITCZ can generate Tropical Depression.

-ITCZ brings convectional thunderstorms form and precipitation.
