Convection currents are the rising and sinking of warmer and cooler materials due to their densities. Why does the warmer magma do this?

See Explanation

Explanation:

Convection is a mode of heat transfer which involves the actual movement of the particles of a substance.

The hotter particles move upwards and are replaced by the cooler particles, thus a convection current is set up. This is due to the fact that cooler particles are denser than warmer particles.

Warm magma is found far beneath the earth. It rises to the surface due to convection current thereby leading to volcanos. Volcanic eruptions result from convection currents that occur underground.
