Doldrums: Areas near the equator where trade winds converge but lack strong horizontal movement due to weak pressure gradients.
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ): A low-pressure belt near the equator where trade winds from both hemispheres meet, causing rising air and abundant rainfall.
Westerlies: Prevailing winds that blow from west to east between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They are influenced by the Coriolis effect and play a significant role in weather patterns.
