Question

what are the looping patterns where air flowing from the equator to the poles rises and falls?
○ the coriolis effect
○ conduction
○ convection cells
○ radiation

Explanation:

• The Coriolis effect refers to the deflection of moving objects (like air) due to Earth's rotation, not looping rise/fall patterns.
• Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, unrelated to large-scale air movement patterns.
• Convection cells are circular/looping air currents where warm air rises near the equator, moves toward poles, cools and sinks, then flows back, matching the description.
• Radiation is heat transfer via electromagnetic waves, not air movement patterns.

Answer:

convection cells
