Weather is a part of our life. It changes day by day. For that, we should be aware of it, we should be aware of its constituents, of its cycle, of the phenomena governing it. One is the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.Today, I learned that Intertropical Convergence Zone is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemisphere come together. ITCZ is also known by the sailors as "doldrums". It appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms that circle the globe near the equator.
I will apply my learning about this phenomenon to my everyday life. I can now relate it with the weather updates being televised in different channels of our television. Now, I can determine the forecast of the Philippine weather in the sense that I know how the ITCZ exists.
Learning about this phenomenon is important because ITCZ is where typhoons are originated. This means that we are given a hint of some information regarding the location in which the typhoon may affect the most. And for that, safety could be observed. We could prepare for calamities.
On a larger scale, I will share my learning about this phenomenon to others because it can helps us to be aware or to be prepared about the different phenomenon in our planet and I also want them to be safe when there is a typhoon.
I need to know more about the related topics or words about ITCZ, as well as the other weather-related topics to develop more my knowledge about the weather system, specially in the Philippines.
