    Well, yeah, heat must move south because the North Pole is so cold.

    Heat just simply moves, but yet, eventually heat will rise. That is how the buzzards get to flying so high without flapping their wings. They simply find a thermal and circle it.

    I appreciate the thoughtful and humorous responses . I posted this question on another site and got ridiculed for asking the question.Just goes to show this site is populated by very classy people.
