Expansion occurs when there is a change in volume due to increased temperature. Contraction occurs when there is a decrease in volume due to decreased temperature.

Do clouds occur when moist air is cooled by compression or expansion?

Clouds occur when moist air is cooled. This usually a fall in barometric pressure, or expansion in our atmosphere. There are other factors at work, however, one of them is called adiabatic heating and cooling. When a volume of air is compressed, its temperature rises, and when it is decompressed, or expanded, then it cools. In the case of cloud formation, it is the drop in temperature by adiabatic cooling, and the content of moisture in the air, that make the difference in how clouds are formed.
