Which outcome occurs when air masses converge near the equator?

💡 Explanation

Intense precipitation arises because the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) involves atmospheric instability; convergence forces air upwards creating thunderstorms. This vertical ascent facilitates increased condensation, therefore high rainfall prevails rather than creating stable environments found in high pressure clear sky conditions.
