41. Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), a low-pressure zone, is located: [M.P.P.C.S. (pre) 2018]

Correct Answer: (d) at the equator
Solution:An Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is an area of broad through and low pressure in the equatorial latitudes. It is here the Northeast and Southeast trade winds meet. This convergence zone is roughly parallel to the equator, but it shifts north or south along with the apparent motion of the sun. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer at the equator.
