Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

I learned that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds come together.I also learned that the ITCZ appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms, that circle the globe near the equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds move in a southwestern direction from the northeast, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they move northwestward from the southeast.

What i did in our class: we talk about ITCZ

I can apply my learning in many ways. I can use or apply this in our daily life, like now there is an ITCZ in our country if you know what it is you can understands the forecasters. I can use it also in our lesson in higher grades.

I need to learn more about the hazards if there is an ITCZ.
