Quiz

• Based on your "Holiday to Nigeria" assignment
• True or false statements

The best time to go is between the months November and January, the best season to go is in the winter.

1. True
2. False, Nigeria is south of the equator, so the winter is in June and July
3. False, Nigeria does not have a winter. Only a dry and a wet season
4. False, there is no 'best' time to go

The ITCZ is an area of low pressure that moves north and south of the equator throughout the year, bringing heavy rainfall to the regions it passes over.

1. True
2. False, the ITCZ is a high pressure area
3. False, the ITCZ causes heat and drought
4. False, the ITCZ does not move

Tradewinds (consistent winds from the east) also play a role in the movement of the ITCZ, mostly it’s associated with low-pressure areas, which causes more rain and overall, precipitation.

1. True
2. False, because tradewinds don't come from the east
3. False, because the tradewinds are not the reason why the ITCZ moves
4. False, because low-pressure areas don't cause rain

We dont want to go in the monsoon, the wet season (april- october). the best time to visit is during the dry season (november to march). With low precipitation and high pressure from tradewinds, this period promises more stable weather conditions

1. False, trade winds do not cause dry periods
2. False, a monsoon is not a wet season, but it is a change in the direction of the winds
3. False, trade winds do not cause high pressure
4. False, all of the above

Trade winds

• Winds around the equator
• Blow in the same (easterly) direction)
• Were used for trade (when we used sailboats)
• Caused by the ITCZ

Monsoon

• Seasonal reversal (omkering) of tradewinds
• Caused by the moving of the ITCZ
• Can cause heavy rains in certain areas
