What would happen to railway lines if they were made of one long continuous metal rail instead of many rails with small spaces between them?
When the tracks expanded in hot weather, buckling of the rails would be the result.
How do you make a railway in minecraft?
You would need rails, detector rails, power rails, and minecarts.
What would happen on a hot day if railway tracks were just one massive plank of wood?
The expansion of the steel rails on a hot day would split and tear up the continuous strip of wood. Individual railroad ties can shift a bit as necessary to adjust ot the expansion and contraction of the rails.
Why are there gaps between adjoining rails?
The gaps are there to allow for expansion and contraction. In cold weather the rails will contract leaving gaps between the rails. In warm weather the rails will expand and the gaps will disappear. The ride in summer or winter probably would not change, because when the gaps disappear, there could be a difference in elevation, but not enough to cause a problem.
Why small gaps are left between successive rails in railway lines?
In the heat (of summer) the rails undergo thermal expansion. The amount of expansion is proportional to the normal length and, because rails are long lengths of metal, the expansion is sizeable. If there were no gaps then the expanding rails would push against one another until they buckled.
What is the installation process for curtain rails?
Curtain rails can be installed quickly and very easily. A person would first install the curtain rails fasteners, which are what the rails will be held onto the wall with. Once they are screwed into the wall, the curtain rail is places inside them at both ends.

What will happen to steel railroad tracks on a hot day if they were laid out during a cold day without gap?
The rails would expand with the heat causing them to warp and, possibly, derail any train traveling over them.
When would you need to divide a documents to sections?
To format the sections with different numbers of columns.
