How does wood expand in heat and what impact does this have on its structure and properties?
When wood is heated, the molecules within it gain energy and move more, causing the wood to expand. This expansion can lead to changes in the structure and properties of the wood, such as warping, cracking, or weakening of the material.
What effect does water have on wood through many years of being submersed?
water has the affect on wood that the water is absorbed into the wood sometimes changing the shape or density
Does dry wood expand?

Does wood expand when it gets wet?
Yes, wood does expand when it gets wet due to the absorption of water into its fibers, causing them to swell.
Does wood expand when exposed to heat?
Yes, wood expands when exposed to heat.
What material allows concrete sections to expand on bridges?
Material such as wood allow the concrete to expand
When does wood expand and contract?
Wood expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature and humidity.
Does wood expand?
Yes, especially if it gets damp!
What makes a firecracker pop?
Wood fire crackles and pops because the trapped spaces of air within the wood heat up and expand, creating pressure, while the outer levels of the wood burns slowly away. Eventually, a heated air pocket bursts through the outer level of the wood, causing a crackle or pop.
Can you glue wood flooring to concrete subfloor?
I would not. The wood has to expand and contract with temp changes. Your floor will buckle if you do.
