Explain the movement of 6 convection cells.

To start with, a convection cell is a system in which a fluid is warmed, loses density
and is forced into a region of greater density. So, these cycle repeats and a pattern
of motion forms due to the fact that the Convection cells in Earth's atmosphere are
responsible for the blowing of wind, and can be found in a variety of other natural
and manmade phenomena. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns
known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of
Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in
underneath. Along with the turning of the Earth, this movement of air creates winds.
The Coriolis force is responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the northern
hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere. These winds are
responsible for causing south west Monsoon.
The main impacts of the trade winds on our climate are the Continuous removal of
humidity from the areas around the tropics which is also called as desertification. As
well as the continuous supply of humidity to the equator region or the rain forest.
Lastly, it causes an intense solar heat to the weather.
