The correct response regarding 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 near the equator, moves poleward at high altitudes, cools and descends around 30 degrees latitude, and then flows back toward the equator at the surface.
