Answer:

Does not push up

Step-by-step explanation:

When some air near bottom is heated, it does not push up, all it does, is expands in all directions due to its increased temperature (and so increased pressure). ... The cold air moves down only from sides, it can not move down from directly above because of increased pressure of hot air.
