Question

Which of the following is a major consequence of the shifting of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)? A. monsoon rains in South Asia B. few winds in the horse latitudes C. jet streams over the North Atlantic D. lush vegetation in the Amazonian rainforest

Answer 1

The shifting of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) results to A. monsoon rains in South Asia. The ITCZ is a region on Earth where the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet, causing the trade winds from both regions to meet. This causes a belt of low pressure, making the region prone to heavy rainfall or monsoon rains.
