Correct Answer: a, b and d


Solution : The correct option is a, b and d .

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is indeed a broad trough of low pressure in equatorial latitudes. It is characterised by the convergence of trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres, leading to rising air, cloud formation, and frequent precipitation.

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the region where the northeast trade winds from the Northern Hemisphere meet the southeast trade winds from the Southern Hemisphere.
