Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ITCZ (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone) is a zone of low pressure near the equator where the trade winds meet. The convergence of these trade winds causes vertical uplift, creating unstable atmospheric conditions and resulting in thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. These conditions are ideal for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, which are associated with thunderstorms and heavy rain.
