The correct response regarding the convection pattern between 30°S and 30°N latitude is:
Hotter air rises and moves toward the equator, then cools and falls and moves away from the equator.
This describes the Hadley cell circulation, where warm air rises near the equator, moves poleward at higher altitudes, cools, and eventually sinks around 30° latitude before returning toward the equator at the surface.
