The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

• The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the boundary zone between the Northeast and Southeast trade winds.
• The ITCZ shifts seasonally with the Hadley Cell depending on the angle of solar radiation.
• The ITCZ affects rainfall creating the wet and dry seasons in the tropics, and is favorable for the formation of tropical storm systems.
