(3.1) For what reasons is lower atmospheric pressure found at the surface in the intertropical convergence zone? Select one: O a. Surface convergence of the trade winds helps strong surface low pressure to develop. O b. The subtropical jet stream supports the development of storms in the intertropical convergence zone. O c. The Coriolis force causes cyclones with low surface pressure to spin up in the vicinity of the equator. O d. Intense heating from strong direct solar radiation drives convection, which causes a surface low to form.
