Do you agree that expansion and contraction only cause problems?
No, we use expansion and contraction to tell temperature(thermometer).

Sidewalks are built with cracks because in the summer something occurswhat is it?
they r called contraction joints. then every few of those then expansion joint. concrete is going to crack, so make it crack so it can't be seen,under the man made ones. concrete tends to crack symmetrically. so if ur sidewalk is 3 feet wide the contraction joints will be every 3 feet. then expansion joint, 3/4 inch with expansive material, every 4th one.

What the opposite of Contraction?
The general opposite of contraction is expansion, or possibly inflation. For muscles, the opposite of contraction is relaxation.
What is opposite of expansion?
The opposite of expansion is contraction. For an activity where expansion is simply an increase, the opposite can be reduction.
