Q117 (NDA-I/2024) Geography › World Physical Geography Official Key

Which of the following statements regarding the World Climate Types and their relation with Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is/are correct ? 1. Tropical Wet Climate is one of the world's rainiest due to the dominance of the ITCZ over it. 2. Tropical Savanna Climate experiences a distinctive alternation of wet and dry seasons, caused chiefly by the seasonal shift in latitude of the subtropical highs and ITCZ. 3. The Tropical Monsoonal Climate experiences heavy rainfall as a consequence of the nearness of the ITCZ for much of the year. Select the answer using the code given below :

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All three statements correctly describe the relationship between the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and tropical climate types:

  • Statement 1: The Tropical Wet (Equatorial) Climate is characterized by year-round high rainfall because the ITCZ, a zone of low pressure and convection, remains dominant over the equator throughout the year.
  • Statement 2: In the Tropical Savanna Climate, the seasonal migration of the ITCZ brings a wet season during high-sun months, while the shift of subtropical high-pressure belts over the region during low-sun months causes a distinct dry season.
  • Statement 3: The Tropical Monsoonal Climate experiences heavy precipitation due to the seasonal migration of the ITCZ. The nearness and movement of the ITCZ draw in moisture-laden maritime winds, leading to concentrated heavy rainfall for a significant part of the year.
