🔍 Key Concepts

• Doldrums / Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) general weather characteristics • Typical wind conditions found in the doldrums • Relationship between pressure gradients and wind strength

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of weather sailors historically complained about when stuck in the doldrums for days or weeks. • Consider which type of pressure pattern leads to strong winds versus light or no wind. • Look at each option and ask: Is this commonly associated with warm, moist rising air near the equator, or with strong wind systems far from it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what kind of winds (strong, moderate, or calm) are characteristic of the doldrums. • Confirm whether the doldrums are known for moist, unstable air and daily convection (showers and thunderstorms). • Check how pressure gradients (steep vs. weak) affect wind speed in basic meteorology.
