The correct answer is option 2, Inter tropical convergence zone. The Inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a belt of low pressure that encircles the Earth near the Equator. It is characterized by the convergence of warm, moist air from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. As the air rises near the ITCZ, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and heavy precipitation. The ITCZ is responsible for the tropical rainforests found in regions such as the Amazon Basin and the Congo Basin. It is an important component of the Earth`s climate system and plays a crucial role in the global distribution of heat and moisture.
