A material that has a larger density than the surrounding material has the natural tendency to sink.
Cool rock material sinks in the mantle during convention because it is more dense than the surrounding warmer rock. As the cooler rock sinks, it displaces the warmer rock, creating a cycle of sinking and rising that drives mantle convection. This process helps transfer heat in the Earth's interior and drives plate tectonics.
Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.
