Intertropical Convergence Zone

A sea-mount is a mountain on the bottom of the sea who's top does not reach the surface of the ocean. These are typically formed by volcanoes under the water which go extinct before the top gets high enough to rise above the surface of the ocean and form an island, like Hawaii.

Roz is about to pass through something called the Intertropical Convergence Zone, and it may effect her voyage. So what's the big deal with the ITCZ? Research this unique area of the ocean and comment back to the blog. What is the ITCZ and how do you think it might effect Roz's voyage?
