Hotter air rises and moves away from the equator, then cools and falls and moves back to 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 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 is:

Hotter air rises and moves away from the equator, then cools and falls and moves back to the equator.

This describes the general convection pattern in the tropics, where warm, moist air rises near the equator, creating a region of low pressure, while cooler air moves in from the surrounding areas, cools, and then descends in the subtropics.
