The planetary winds that converge in the equator are known as trade winds. These winds blow towards the equator from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. As they converge, they create a zone of low pressure known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which is characterized by abundant rainfall and thunderstorms.
The type of planetary winds that converge at the equator are called Trade Winds. These winds blow from the high-pressure areas in the subtropical regions towards the low-pressure area near the equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, they blow from the northeast and are known as the Northeast Trade Winds, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they blow from the southeast and are called the Southeast Trade Winds. These converging winds meet near the equator, creating a zone of low pressure and calm winds known as the doldrums or the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
