Question

What would happen to the surrounding weather if the ITCZ did not shift throughout the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

ITCZ does not shift much as the sun's movement is controlling the shift through the year.

Explanation:

• ITCZ follows the sun and thus leads to changes in the season it moves in the northern hemisphere in summer and winter and thus responsible for the wet and dry seasons in tropics.

• ITCZ changes its position around the year as a result of the spinning of the earth. Its also called the doldrums the horizontal air movements. Thus there is a movement in July and January throughout the year.

• If this layer did not shift uneven heating and cooling can be felt in the tropics.
