Many things that have been designed around expansion and contraction are made out of wood and usually reside in a climate changing area. Wooden decks, outdoor machinery, and freezer warehouses are all designed around expansion and contraction.

Which things depend on expansion?

Expansion can refer to various processes, but some common things that depend on expansion include thermometers, bridges, and concrete structures. Thermometers utilize the expansion of liquids to measure temperature, while bridges and concrete structures are designed to accommodate the expansion and contraction that occurs due to changes in temperature to prevent damage.

What are the effects of expansion and contraction?

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.

How does large variations between day and night temperatures cause weathering?

During the warm day, things expand from the increased heat. During the cold night, things contract as heat is lost. This process of expansion and contraction creates cracks and other stress points that cause weathering.Hence the temperatures cause weathering. Note: There are few substances that this expansion and contraction can be seen with the naked eye, but even the minute changes cause weathering, and when substances like water get into the microscopic cracks then freeze, it magnifies the effects as water expands when it freezes while other substances contract when they cool down.
