Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is characterized by convergence and uplift of warm surface air. This occurs because the ITCZ is the area where the trade winds from the north and south converge and rise, creating a band of low pressure. The rising air cools and condenses, leading to abundant cloud formation and precipitation in the region.
