What Does TCZ Stand For?
TCZ stands for Tropical Convergence Zone
The Tropical Convergence Zone (TCZ) refers to a region near the equator where trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet. This area is characterized by rising moist air, leading to cloud formation and frequent precipitation. The TCZ plays a critical role in global weather patterns, influencing tropical climates and seasonal weather events, such as monsoons. Its movement can significantly impact agricultural practices, water resources, and biodiversity in surrounding regions.
