Expansion and contraction can cause things to crack, as in the weathering of rock. They can cause a bi-metal strip to bend and straighten, which phenomenon is used in some thermostats. Expansion can cause the roadway of a bridge to buckle, so gaps have to be left. Obviously they cause the thread in a liquid-in-glass thermometer to get longer and shorter.
