When the temperature goes up, the rock expands. When the temperature goes down, the rock contracts. If the temperature goes up and down enough, the rock will eventually begin to break down.

What kind of weathering causes repeated expanding due to the heat and contracting due to cold strains the rocks and causes them to crack?
Thermal expansion causes repeated expansion and contraction within the rock. This repeated stress breaks bonds and eventually causes the rock to crack. Thermal expansion is classified as a type of physical or mechanical weathering.
What Thermal expansion of soap?
5.8 to to power of 10
Does temperature variation affect jet fuel volume?
Yes, jet fuel expands when it is hot and contracts when it is cold. It has a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 0.000999/degree C.
What are the of objectives of thermal expansion in solids and liquids in everyday life?
one example of thermal expansion is when in the kitchen and you can not open a can of vegetable(example) you will put it in a pan of hot water and the water will push it off.
What is liquid rising in a thermometer as temperature increases is an example of?
Thermal expansion.
How does thermal expansion affect a bridge?
A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
How does Thermal expansion and contraction affect dental waxes?
it expands and ur bf
What is the increase of the volume of a substance by the increase of temperature called?
This increase of volume is called expansion
How would changes in temperature would affect a bridge?
Thermal expansion means that the length of the bridge changes.
What is thermal expansion and explain its two types?
- Thermal expansion is the dimension modification of a material under heating. - Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
Liquids expansion by heat?
Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
The expansion of matter when it is heated is known as?

What kind of weathering causes repeated expanding due to the heat and contracting due to cold strains the rocks and causes them to crack?
Thermal expansion causes repeated expansion and contraction within the rock. This repeated stress breaks bonds and eventually causes the rock to crack. Thermal expansion is classified as a type of physical or mechanical weathering.
What is the process of thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
What are the two types of thermal expansion?
Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
What is the thermal expansion coefficient for steel c 15?
thermal expansion depends on Temperature and material of steel
What is an increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the substance's temperature?
boyles law describes how when temperature rises the volume rises
