The Walker Circulation

I have a project due in less than 24 hours and I have to do a section about the Walker circulation. I’m not entirely sure I grasp it entirely. Can someone please explain it to me like I’m 5?

THE WALKER CIRCULATION is an atmospheric system of air flow in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The trade winds across the tropical Pacific flow from east to west: air rises above the warm waters of the western Pacific, flows eastward at high altitudes, and descends over the eastern Pacific.
