Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most important factor controlling the seasonal distribution of precipitation in the Aw (Tropical Wet and Dry) realm is the migration of the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) which is a low pressure belt that encircles the Earth near the equator and moves north and south seasonally. This movement of the ITCZ results in wet and dry seasons in the Aw climate zone.
