Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a band of low pressure near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. The seasonal shift of the ITCZ is greatest over the continents because land heats up and cools down faster than water, causing a larger shift in the position of the ITCZ compared to over the oceans.
