In simple, but technically incorrect terms: It rises.
In more technical terms: Heat does not rise, heat is defined as transfer of thermal energy - it is a process, not something which can itself be moved (much like electricity is a process of movement of electrons). In convection heat occurs because when things gain thermal energy they expand, so their density increases, so the colder parts of a fluid above them effectively fall through them, pushing the warmer parts upwards.
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
When warm air moves toward the poles, it is referred to as "meridional flow" or "warm air advection." This process involves the transfer of heat from the equator to higher latitudes, contributing to temperature regulation in different regions. Such movements can influence weather patterns and climate conditions, leading to various atmospheric phenomena.
Yes, cold air tends to move toward warm air due to differences in air pressure and temperature. Cold air is denser and sinks, while warm air rises, creating a pressure gradient. This movement is a fundamental principle of atmospheric dynamics, leading to various weather patterns and phenomena.

A warm front forms.
A cold front.
When cold air moves toward warm air, it pushes the warm air upward because cold air is denser and therefore heavier than warm air. This creates a lifting mechanism known as cold air advection, which can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
Low pressure area and in turn, typhoon
As a warm front moves toward and then over an area, air pressure typically decreases. This is due to the warm air rising over the denser, cooler air ahead of the front, which leads to lower pressure at the surface.
As the warm air rises and moves toward the poles,cooler air moves from the poles toward the equator to replace it. Resource:Factors of Weather:Air movement Close to the Earth (science sheet)

Such movements can influence weather patterns and climate conditions, leading to various atmospheric phenomena.
Global winds move warm air toward the poles by the process of convection and the Coriolis effect. As warm air rises at the equator, it moves toward the poles due to the rotation of the Earth. This creates the global wind patterns that help distribute heat around the planet.
It sets up two circulation cells where warm air aloft moves toward the poles and cool surface air moves toward the equator.
