{'tropical convergence zone': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'important zone': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'northern india': [2, 1, 4, 4], 'low pressure belt': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'winds': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'inter': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'pakistan': [3, 0, 1, 2]}

The correct answer is option- 2, Only 2.

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a low pressure belt that forms an important zone of contact over Northern India and Pakistan. This statement is incorrect. The ITCZ is actually a low pressure zone that encircles the Earth near the equator. It is characterized by the convergence of trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres, resulting in rising air and the formation of clouds and precipitation. However, it does not specifically form over Northern India and Pakistan.

The second statement is correct. The ITCZ invites inflow of winds from different directions. As the trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge in the ITCZ, they bring in warm and moist air from different directions. This convergence and inflow of winds contributes to the formation of clouds, rainfall, and other weather phenomena in the region.

In summary, only the second statement is correct. The ITCZ is a low pressure zone that invites inflow of winds from different directions, but it does not specifically form over Northern India and Pakistan.
