Heat energy causes all matter to expand, a reason for this strange occurrence is that when a particular substance receives heat whether it be through conduction, convection or radiation the atoms inside the substance become more energised therefor needing more space to move, they push the outside boundaries making the substance expand. If the substance receives an exceeding amount of heat energy it will change states of matter.
