Which statement accurately explains the nature of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)?
It is an equatorial low-pressure belt where trade winds meet.
The Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is an equatorial low-pressure belt where trade winds from both hemispheres meet and converge.
It is not a westerly wind system, a cold frontal region near mountains, or a high-pressure zone near the poles — those describe entirely different atmospheric features.
Hence, 'It is an equatorial low-pressure belt where trade winds meet' is the correct answer.
In terms of geological time scale, the quaternary period consists of two epochs. They are:
The major portion of the Great Artesian Basin in Australia is located in
Basket-of-eggs topography is related to
Which one of the following is the longest Latitude?
The following six (6) items consist of two statements, Statement I and Statement II. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answer using the code given below.
Statement I: Geostrophic wind blows above a height of 600 metres, parallel to the isobars.
Statement II: Geostrophic wind is the horizontal wind velocity, in which the Coriolis force balances the horizontal pressure force.
