When warm air near the surface of the Earth rises - does cooler air tend to rush in to take its place?

No.
Warm air rises because its warmth causes it to rise. The act of forcing air upwards will warm the air slightly because of friction, but the act alone of air rising does not raise the temperature of the air.

When warm air near the surface of the Earth rises cooler air tends to rush in to take its place This sort of heat transfer is known as?
convection
How does uneven heating of earths surface results in convection currents?
Where the air is over a parts of the Earth's Surface that is warm, the air warms. Warm air rises and as it rises it is replaced by cooler air that is sucked in from parts of the Earth's surface which are comparatively cooler. This movement causes a cyclic circulation of the air called win and weather.
What type of mountains are formed when magma rises to earth's surface and erupts?
volcanic montains
What takes the place of warm air?
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)
When the water vapor rises from earth's surface and forms clouds it undergoes which processes?
Evaporation and Condesnsation

What are Convetion Currents?
convection currents are when hot rock from deep inside the the earth rises but cooler rock near the surface sinks
What is the process by which hot material from deep within the earth rises while cooler material by the surface sinks?
this is due to tectonic plates that means movement of plates

What is the Term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary?

What does magma become once it rises to the earth's surface?
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is known as lava.
When the hotter part of the liquid rises and the cooler liquid moves into its place what is this called?
Convection
How convection currents work in the mantle?
What forces would lead to the movement of the plates over the surface of the earth? At this time it is believed this movement results from mantle convection. Deep within the earth there is a large amount of heat coming from two sources: the magma remnants of the Great Bombardment, and radiation from radioactive elements. This heat, in accordance with the 2 ndlaw of thermodynamics, must flow to a cooler place, and subsequently rises to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were smaller, this heat would flow by conduction, but because of the relatively large size of the Earth, convection also takes place. Thus, as in heating a pot of water on a stove, convection currents are established within the earth, which bring warm material to the surface and send cooler material to the interior.
What form is radiation emitted from the earth's surface back into the atmosphere?
Heat rises from the surface of the earth in the form of infra-red radiation.
