Question

Warm air rising at the equator and cold air sinking at the poles is one reason for which type of movement of air?

Answer 1

Convection cells

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cold air moves away from poles, it begins to warm up. This warm air now becomes lighter and the pressure drops significantly at 60° N and 60° south latitude. The air from poles further gushes into these belts because the low pressure created. Thus, convection cells are formed because this rise and fall of air in circular pattern.

Hence, the name given is convection cells.
