Which best explains the occurrence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ?

• The ITCZ is a zone of convergence in the northern hemisphere where the trade winds meet.

• The ITCZ is a zone where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together.

• The ITCZ is a zone of convergence at the thermal equator, where the trade winds meet. It is an area of high pressure.

What is the primary cause of the overall rising trend of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the atmosphere?

• Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is released by the oceans as they warm.

• As the human population grows, people exhale more carbon dioxide (CO2 ).

• The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) is increasing because we are coming out of an ice age.
