convection cells in weather patterns
Convection cells in weather patterns refer to the circular motion of air caused by temperature differences between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. As warm air rises, it creates an updraft, while cooler air sinks downward in a downdraft, resulting in a continuous cycle of air movement. These cells play a crucial role in the formation and movement of weather systems.
