∙ 13y agoExpansion can come in many forms.
Water expansion when it freezes can be a pain as it will break pipes. It also is factor in weathering, and erosion.
Wood will expand when it gets wet. It is believed that this mechanism was used to to quarry large stones centuries ago.
Air Conditioning and Refrigeration is based on the expansion and contraction of Freon and light gasses. Perhaps this is one of the biggest uses of expansion.
Engines derive power from the expansion of combustion gases.

As the liquid in the thermometre is heated, it will expand, making its way up the tube to the appropriate point where it will stop until further heating is added or it cools.

What is it that cools the air in a household refrigerator?
Modern electric fridges are cooled by the evaporation of a low boiling point liquid. The resulting gas is then compressed and cooled (in the fins at the back of the fridge) to condense it back to a liquid. It then goes through the cycle again and again. See link to animated drawing for details. The liquid/gas used in fridges manufactured before the mid 1980s was genereally a CFC (Chloroflourocarbon) but these were banned under the Montreal treaty in 1989 due to their damaging effect on the ozone layer. Currently they have been largely replaced by HCFC in modern fridges but HCFCs although not harmful to the ozone layer are powerful global warming gasses. Their use is due to be banned by 2030 if not sooner.D - Absorption of the heat from the air due to evaporation of the liquid refrigerant.
Who discovered the thermometer?
Who invented the thermometer?While the Greeks made simple thermometers (instruments for measuring temperature) as early as the first century B.C., Italian astronomer (a scientists specializing in the study of the stars, planets, and heavenly bodies) Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is credited with inventing the modern thermometer. Called an air thermometer, it was a device in which a colored liquid was driven down by the expansion of air. As the air got warmer and expanded, the liquid dropped. In 1612 Italian physician Santorio Santorio (1561-1636), a friend of Galileo, adapted the device to measure the body's change in temperature due to illness. A century later, in 1714, German physicist Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) invented the mercury (a metallic element) thermometer. Thermometers in use today, contain liquid mercury, which rises as it gets warmer.
What are examples of gravity?
Gravity is a force between two objects that is a function of the mass of each object and the square of the distance between them. It is one of the fundamental forces and combining it with quantum mechanics and the electromagnetic and intermolecular forces is one of the goals of modern day physics the end goal being a grand unified theory. It is not logical to ask for examples of gravity but perhaps if you ask again and reword your question to "What are some examples of events generated but the force of gravity on objects?" you might get some better answers to what I suspect you are asking.
