(ITCZ) is accurate? I. It is a low-pressure area near the Equator where trade winds converge. II. It remains fixed in its position throughout the year, causing consistent weather patterns in the equatorial regions.Solution
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is indeed a belt of low pressure near the Equator where the Northeast and Southeast trade winds converge. This zone is characterized by frequent storms and heavy rainfall. The ITCZ does not remain fixed; it shifts north or south with the seasons, which influences the timing and intensity of precipitation in tropical regions, notably affecting agricultural patterns and climate.
