Answer: An area that is generally associated with low precipation is the option B, Bermuda-Azore high.

Precipitation associated with ITCZ generally ocurrs because all of the above, option c.

A tropical area that would have precipitation in January but low precipitation in July would more likely be located in the Southern Hemisphere.

A place where the ITCZ would likely dip farthest southward and bring rains in January wolud be interior South Atlantic Ocean.

Storms steered by the Icelandic Low are likely tomoveinto North America.

Explanation: First answer, Because there are anticyclones, which produce humidity and low temperatures, which produces a weakening.

Second answer,This is a convergence zone that encompasses the entire Earth and thermal equator.

Thirth answer,

Because in January it is summer and there are more heavy rains and in July it is winter, so there are few of them.

Fourth answer,because it is the zone of low pressure influence.

Fifth answer, This happens because it covers the direction of the oscillation of the North Atlantic.

I hope I could have helped.
