Intertropical Convergence Zone

• I learned that  known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together. It is also known as the Equatorial Convergence Zone or Intertropical Front.

• I want to know more about how it forms and how it develops and how could it be a dangerous typhoon.

• I would like to research on how ITCZ can affect the weather of the wet and dry seasons of the tropics rather than the cold and warm seasons of higher latitudes. 

• I appreciate the fact that ITCZ can help in the production of rain that can help us to refrain from drought. The rain it can bring can also help the farmers to grow their plant but only for right amount of rainfall.

• I can apply my learning and insights in my daily life specially during the rainy season. With this knowledge that I have gathered, I can surely understand the things the weather reporter may say about ITCZ and I can share it right to my classmates and friends without any hesitation.
