Question
Imagine taking off on a jet plane on a journey around the world to see what occupies the land beneath the zone of the ITCZ, the latitudes of the Subtropical High, and the regions of the Sub Polar Lows. At each of these latitudes, if you look down from your jet plane what would you see down below? Would it be lush rain forests? barren deserts? tundras and grasslands? or something else? Fortunately, you don't really need to embark on a jet plane to find the answer to this question. Use google maps or google earth with satellite images to make this trip cheap and quick, what do you discover?
