Insights and Reflections #1: Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
 |
| Global belts on high and low pressure, and the major prevailing winds on Earth |
Today, I learned that Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the area encircling the Earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together. It is known by sailors as the doldrums. The ITCZ appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms that circle the globe near the equator.
I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon to my everyday life. So that I am always aware in what may happen in the weather, specially the weather here in the Philippines.
Learning about this phenomenon is important because ITCZ is one of the factors that may affect our weather. It may help us understand the other phenomenon happening around us.
On a larger scale, I will share my learnings about this phenomenon to others because, I want them to have knowledge about ITCZ and how it may affect our living. I also want them to be aware and to be prepared if this phenomenon may happen in real life. And for them to be always ready and prepared when this happen.
I need to know more about the related topics and ideas about ITCZ, and other weather related ideas so that I can be aware of the happenings and the changes that happen in our weather and in our environment.
