A measuring cup with extra space at the top is designed to prevent spills and allow for easy pouring of liquids or transfer of dry ingredients. This design feature helps accommodate ingredients that might expand or froth, such as whipped cream or certain sauces. It also makes it easier to scrape out the contents without overfilling. Such cups are particularly useful in cooking and baking where precision is important.

Why does the liquid measuring cup have no rim above the 1 cup marker?
That particular type of measuring cup is actually made for measuring solids (flour, sugar and the like), not liquids, even though a cup is a liquid measure. There is no rim to allow for a straight edge to be used to level the measurement. Measuring cups, for actually measuring liquids, are graduated, and do not measure to the top, to prevent spillage.
Can you use a liquid measuring cup for dry measure?
A cup is a cup, basically. However, the true measure is level with the top of what is called a dry measuring cup. That is why you should overfill this type cup and then run a flat edge across the top. If you poured liquid to be even with the top it would run over so you use a "liquid" cup marked in increments and make the liquid even with the line you need. I am a retired Home Economics teacher.

If you found a rock and you want to measure its volume what would you do to measure the rock volume?
Use water displacement. Measure water before you put the rock in it, and then again afterwards. Put a measuring cup large enough to hold the rock in a pot large enough to hold the measuring cup and fill the measuring cup to the very top with water. Lower the rock into the measuring cup carefully so that the water flows over and into the pot. Carefully remove the measuring cup with the rock without spilling any additional water into the pot. When you measure the water in the pot it will equal to the volume of the rock (accuracy will depend on how careful you were). This is displacement measuring.
