A. clockwise along the jet streams
B. from the equator toward the poles
C. from the surface to the upper atmosphere
D. from east to west, along with the westerlies,

Answer 1

A convection cell happens when density differences occur within a liquid or gas. The convection cells in Earth’s atmosphere are also called Hadley cells. The convection cells in Earth’s atmosphere move heat from the equator towards the poles. This helps balance the weather patterns.
