When convection takes place in the matle why does cooler material sink while warmer material rises?
Cooler material (magma) shrinks and becomes more dense. Gravity acts on this denser material more strongly because of its greater unit mass (density = Mass/volume). Lighter material rises as the heavier material displaces it below. This produces a the apparent bouyant force.
