<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.
