The pressure belts of the Earth are not permanently fixed. They shift northward and southward with the apparent movement of the Sun between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This seasonal migration is known as the shifting of pressure belts and is closely related to the changing position of the overhead Sun, variations in temperature, and the unequal heating of land and water. During the Northern Hemisphere summer (June–July), the Sun is overhead near the Tropic of Cancer. The thermal equator and associated pressure belts shift northward. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), characterized by low pressure and rising warm air, moves several degrees north of the Equator. The
