Liquid rises and falls when heated because when heated, liquid will expand causing it to be less dense than the other liquid around it. This results in a buoyant force and it will rise.

After rising it will start to cool off since it isn't by the heat source anymore and will become more dense. This will make it more dense than the newly heated up liquid below it and so it will fall to repeat the process.

Because when particles are heated they vibrate more vigrously and move away from each other. Slowly, the liquid expands but if you overdo it then the liquid will evaporate (turn into gas).
