WHAT I DID:
I studied the meaning of Intertropical Convergence Zone.
WHAT I LEARNED:
That The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds come together.
I CAN APPLY MY LEARNINGS:
by applying it in my daily activities. i will be aware on what's happening around me. I ca use it whenever ther's a bad weather.
TRIVIA:
Thunderstorms along the Intertropical Convergence Zone played a role in the loss of Air France Flight 447, which left Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport on Sunday, May 31, 2009, at 7 p.m. (4:00 p.m. EDT) and had been expected to land at Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport on Monday June 1, 2009, at 11:15 a.m.The aircraft crashed with no survivors while flying through a series of
large ITCZ thunderstorms, and ice forming rapidly on airspeed sensors
was the precipitating cause for the cascade of human errors which
ultimately doomed the flight. Most aircraft flying these routes are able
to avoid the larger convective cells without incident.
