Two examples of thermal expansion in solids are the expansion of a metal rod when heated, causing it to increase in length, and the expansion of a bridge beam on a hot day, resulting in the beam bending slightly due to the increase in temperature.
Chemical reactions and magnetic fields are not examples of thermal expansion. Thermal expansion specifically refers to the increase in size of a material when heated and the decrease in size when cooled.
Linear expansion and volumetric expansion are the two types of thermal expansion. Linear expansion is the increase in length of a material when heated, while volumetric expansion refers to the increase in volume of a material when heated.
Some non-examples of thermal expansion would include the boiling of water, which involves a phase change rather than expansion due to temperature increase, and the stretching of a rubber band, which is a different mechanism of deformation unrelated to temperature change. Additionally, the growth of a plant is not an example of thermal expansion.
Thermal expansion is the tendency of a material to change in volume, length, or area in response to a change in temperature. The two main types of thermal expansion are linear expansion, where an object grows in length in one dimension, and volumetric expansion, where an object expands in all dimensions.
Examples of thermal expansion of a liquid include water expanding as it is heated, causing liquids like mercury in a thermometer to rise when exposed to heat, and gasoline expanding in a fuel tank on a hot day.

Not sure what you mean; basically, ANY solid will expand if you heat it.
The increase in volume of a substance due to an increase in temperature is called thermal expansion. This occurs because as the temperature of a substance rises, the particles within it gain energy and move more, causing them to spread out and increase in volume.

A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
