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 near the equator rises, cools at higher altitudes, and then moves back towards the subtropics at around 30° latitude, where it sinks.
