👉 The term "intertropics" refers to a region of the Earth's climate system where the tropics and poles overlap. This area is characterized by high temperatures in the northern hemisphere, while the polar regions experience extremely cold temperatures. The intertropics are often associated with tropical cyclones, which are large storms that form near the equator, particularly over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The term "intertropics" was first proposed by British oceanographer Robert B. Chamberlain
