Question

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called ________.

Answer 1

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.
