Winds and Cyclones
Climatic Regions
In the South Atlantic and South Eastern Pacific regions in tropical latitudes, cyclone does not originate. What is the reason?
C.Coriolis force is too weak
A.Sea Surface temperature are low
D.Absence of land in those regions
B.Inter Tropical Convergence Zone seldom occurs
Correct Answer: Option B
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) remains at or near the equator and does not usually shift southward over the South Atlantic or South Pacific regions.
Therefore, the absence of the ITCZ over these regions is a primary reason for the lack of cyclone formation.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
