Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equatorial and tropical regions receive the highest amount of precipitation due to their location near the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) where warm, moist air converges and creates low pressure which results in consistent rainfall throughout the year. Meanwhile, mid-latitude regions have more variable precipitation patterns due to the presence of prevailing westerly winds and weather fronts, while high latitudes and subtropical regions receive less precipitation overall.
