The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ):

is an area of low atmospheric pressure that forms near equator

migrates farther in northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Question

is an area of low atmospheric pressure that forms near equator: This statement is correct. ITCZ does involve a band of low pressure near the equatorial trough region. And the greater land masses in the north contribute to its more pronounced seasonal shift in the Northern Hemisphere.
migrates farther in northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere: This statement is CORRECT. The ITCZ does shift more dramatically with the seasons over land in the northern hemisphere as compared to the southern hemisphere. This asymmetric movement is due to less land mass in the southern hemisphere.
