In July and August, the ITCZ lies well to the north of the equator over Africa, Asia and Central America before going to south into South America, central Africa and Australia by January and February.

In January the ITCZ lies about at 15°S over South America and Africa. The ITCZ is less mobile over the oceans, where it binds a stationary position just north of the equator.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is defined as a band of low pressure around the Earth which commonly lies near to the equator. The trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres meet here, which takes them to the development of frequent thunderstorms and heavy rain.

<h3>What is the characteristics of ITCZ?</h3>

The ITCZ is characterized by low atmospheric pressures, as a result of the upward movement induced by the trade winds convergence. It forms a high atmospheric pressure in the upper troposphere.

Let O, P, and Q be distinct collinear points with PQ=3. Let P′ and Q′ be the images of points P and Q under dilation from point

horsena [70]

Given:

O, P, and Q be distinct collinear points with PQ=3.

P′ and Q′ be the images of points P and Q under dilation from point O with scale factor 4.

To find:

The length of the image segment P'Q'.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Corresponding side of original figure}}$

P′ and Q′ be the images of points P and Q under dilation from point O with scale factor 4. So, Segment P'Q' is the image of segment PQ and the scale factor is 4.

$4=\dfrac{P'Q'}{PQ}$

It is given that PQ=3.

$4=\dfrac{P'Q'}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$4\times 3=P'Q'$

$12=P'Q'$

Therefore, the length of the image segment P'Q' is 12 units.
