Near the equator, rising air is associated with a pressure zone known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This region is characterized by low pressure, where trade winds from both hemispheres converge, causing warm, moist air to rise. As the air ascends, it cools and leads to the formation of clouds and precipitation, contributing to tropical rainfall patterns.
