Why do solids expand and contract with changes in temperature?
Wood is a solid that expands and contracts as the temperature changes. That's why at night you tend to hear creeks or odd noises. They say it's the house 'settling' but really its the wood contracting as the temperature dips during the night hours. Rubber tires also expand as temperature increases and then tighten back up as it drops again. Even metal expands and contracts which is why window frames need rubber spacers to stop drafts from coming in or why railways need so much work done on them.
