Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is an area of low pressure near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet and converge. This convergence zone shifts north and south with the changing seasons, following the migration of the sun, and causing changes in weather patterns and precipitation around the world.
