Question

What is the convection pattern between 30°S and 30°N latitude?(1 point) Responses Cooler air rises and moves toward the equator, then warms and falls and moves away from the equator. Cooler air rises and moves toward the equator, then warms and falls and moves away from the equator. Hotter air rises and moves away from the equator, then cools and falls and moves back to the equator. Hotter air rises and moves away from the equator, then cools and falls and moves back to the equator. Hotter air rises and moves toward the equator, then cools and falls and moves away from the equator. Hotter air rises and moves toward the equator, then cools and falls and moves away from the equator. Cooler air rises and moves away from the equator, then warms and falls and moves back to the equator.

Answer 1

The correct response for the convection pattern between 30°S and 30°N latitude is: Hotter air rises and moves away from the equator, then cools and falls and moves back to the equator.

This describes the Hadley cell circulation, where warm air rises at the equator, moves poleward, cools, and then descends around 30° latitude, leading to high-pressure systems in those regions.
