Yes heavier gas can move upwards or downwards at the same time as coolgas is moving in the opposite direction. For example in a fringe. Why do you think theyy put the fruit and vegetable conatiners at the bottom of the fringe? Because hot air rises and cold air sinks.

Hope this helps!!

Actually, lighter gases move upward and heavier gases move downward. This happens because of the density of the gases.

It depends on the temperature as well as the relative density of the gases at STP. But given the same temperature, heavier gases sink and displace lighter gases.
