Solution

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is formed by the collision of the prevailing winds near the equator. This is a region where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge, typically causing low atmospheric pressure, cloud formation, and heavy rainfall. The ITCZ plays a crucial role in the global circulation of heat and moisture.
