When an object is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and increase in volume. This results in expansion because the increased speed and motion of the particles create more space between them.
No, not all objects expand when heated. Most objects do expand when heated, but there are exceptions such as water between 0°C and 4°C, which contracts when heated. The expansion or contraction of an object when heated depends on its material properties.
All liquids expand on heating (apart from water between 0oC to 4oC)
Heating the metal bar evenly will cause it to expand in all directions. This is known as isotropic expansion, where the material expands uniformly in all dimensions. Heating allows the atoms in the metal to move more freely, causing the entire metal bar to expand uniformly.
All solids expand when they are heated. Examples include concrete slabs having spacers between them to accommodate expansion, and balloons expand with air being pumped into them and contract when air is let out.
Gases expand most on heating because their particles have high kinetic energy, causing them to move further apart. Solids expand least because their particles are tightly packed and have less freedom to move, limiting the expansion.

It depends on the solid.
things expand when heated and contract when cooled. This seasaw action creates cracks and weakness in structures/landforms and causes weathering.

1. Probably heating.
They expand ------- No, normally metals expand when heated.

They expand.
The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.
because the atoms expand causing it to evaporate
One way to heat and expand metal without using a flame is to use induction heating. Induction heating uses an electromagnetic field to heat the metal through induction, causing it to expand. This method is often used in industrial applications where precise and controlled heating is required.
