The intertropical convergence zones are areas directly along the equator where winds from the northern and Southern Hemisphere interact, usually as masses of clouds and thunderstorms.
This is the 'convergence' or meeting point of two air masses in between the two tropics. This is the point where the two Hadley cells meet. This is marked by an area of low pressure.
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a region near the equator where winds from the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ's movement are the "monsoon seasons" that affect areas in the tropics, as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east along the edge of the ITCZ.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone is also called the Equatorial Convergence Zone. It features heavy precipitation, lies near the Equator, and it is where all trade winds collide.

Intertropical Convergence Zone, around the equator. It is more of a where do they happen question, and this is where they are found.
low pressure.
subtropical high-pressure development.
intertropical convergence zoneThe Intertropical Convergence Zone lies roughly along the equator. This zone is made up of a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms, that circle the Earth near the equator.
