Describe the motion of air in a convention cell?

I am stuck on the last question of my homework can someone help me please.



Describe the motion of air in a convection cell. Be sure to include direction of air movement and relative temperature of the moving air.Describe the motion of air in a convention cell?Warm air rises, cools, becomes denser...since there is warm air rising from below it, it can't come straight back down and must fall along side the rising air...think of it as a hollow cylinder in which the warm air rises up the inside of the cylinder and cool air falls out over the outside of the cylinder...



Hope that helped...
