Which atmospheric circulation pattern occurs when surface air converges in the intertropical convergence zone?

💡 Explanation

When surface air converges in the ITCZ, rising air results from surface heating, initiating Hadley cells because warm air ascends at the equator and travels poleward. Therefore Hadley cell formation results, causing rising motions, rather than Ferrel/Polar cell patterns which require different latitude and thermal forcing.
