Density is the key. Think of a hot air balloon. Because hot air is less dense than cool air it rises above it, causeing the air balloon to rise. In science, materials that are a hotter temperature are less dense than materials that are cooler in temperature. The molten rock being hotter is less dense and rises about the cool, solid rock.
