The Correct Answer is Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.
Key Points

  • The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is the region that circles the Earth, near the equator.
  • Here the trade winds of the Northern and Southern hemispheres come together.
  • The intense sun and warm water of the equator heats the air in the ITCZ, raising its humidity and making it buoyant.
  • With the help of convergence of the trade winds, the buoyant air rises.
  • As the air rises it expands and cools, releasing the accumulated moisture in an almost perpetual series of thunderstorms.
