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.

What is the part of earth between the crust and outer core?

Did some goes to the core?
no, because its very hot in there. Even you cant pass to matle going to the core, no one ever tried going there.

What process in earths interior causes subduction and sea-floor?
Spreading of seafloor occurs at the mid-ocean rifts, where there is a continuous flow of material rising from the mantle. There is not a unanimously accepted theory as to the cause of the rifting that is taking place. Once the rifting and mantle material inflow has started, however, the conduit is in place. The thinness of the crust at the rift makes it easier for the material to rise, and as it rises it becomes molten and emplaces itself to form new oceanic crust when it solidifies. The rising material is part of a convection current in the Earth's mantle. At the opposite end of the current are subduction zones, where oceanic crust sinks back into the mantle and melts, causing surface features as composite volcanoes. With this cycle of creation and destruction, the total area of seafloor remains relatively stable, but continents change in relative position to each other. These changes do not occur rapidly. The average speed of crustal plate movement is less than the average rate of fingernail growth.
7 in the Yankee's?
If you are asking who was #7 for the New York Yankees, then Mickey Mantle is your answer. The Yankees retired his number in 1967. Matle was a great hitter, with a .298 batting average, 536 home runs, and 1,509 RBI's. Some historians say Mantle would have hade more homers and RBI's if not for a accident while playing baseball for the Yankees.
