Figure shows the rays of the Sun at two different places at noon. Study the drawing carefully.
Where would you observe the Sun directly above you? When you are at the equator? Or when
you are at a higher latitude?
As you can see, the position of the Sun at midday depends on where you are. At the equator, the
Sun will be directly overhead and the rays of the Sun will hit the ground directly. At a higher
latitude, the Sun will be lower in the sky and the Sun’s rays will strike the ground at a lower
angle. Where do you think will it be warmer?
It is clear that it is warmer at the equator than anywhere else. Because of that, the air over the
equator will be warmer than the air over other parts of the Earth. And you already know what
happens to warm air. It rises. And when warm air rises, air in the surroundings will then move
as a result.
As you can see from Figure 19, air from north of the equator and air from south of the equator
will move toward the place where warm air is rising. Thus, the intertropical convergence zone is
the place where winds in the tropics meet or converge. (Recall that the area near the equator is
called the tropics.) In time the rising warm air will form clouds, which may lead to
thunderstorms. Now you know why weather forecasters often blame the ITCZ for some heavy
afternoon rains. The band of white clouds in the following picture shows the location of the
ITCZ.

4) APPLICATION:
Q. Have you noticed when it’s very hot at noon and the clouds look dark in the afternoon?
Q. What do you think will happen next?

E. Generalization (Elaboration):
Let them realize the importance of watching the news/weather channel or weather updates.

IV. Evaluation (Summative)

Quiz
V. Assignment (Extend):

Review Inter tropical convergent zone. Research and draw an ITCZ illustration.

VI. Reflection:
