Researchers discover a connection between earth’s tilt & its ITCZ
Q. What is obliquity?- Published on 16 Dec 15a. An angle of the earth’s polar regions
b. The tilt of the earth
c. Patterns of a mathematical prism
d. None of the above
ANSWER: The tilt of the earth
Researchers have discovered a connection between earth’s tilt called obliquity and shifts every 41,0000 years and the movement of a low pressure band of clouds that is the largest source of heat and moisture for the earth namely the ITCZ or Intertropical Convergence Zone. Study reveals that earth’s tilt plays a much larger role in ITCZ migration than previously determined. This will enable climate scientists to better predict extreme weather events.
