Why are there spaces along railroad tracks?

When you look at a stretch of railway track, you will notice spaces in between the metal tracks. The reason for this is that metal will expand when it grows warmer, and will shrink when it grows colder. These gaps allow for the metal to expand, so that when it is an extremely hot day, the railway tracks won't bend all out of shape causing trains to derail.

What would be the problem if railway tracks are not parallel lines?

If the tracks are not parallel, the wheels will not stay on the tracks; train wheels are spaced at a fixed width, or gauge, and that width cannot expand or contract to accommodate non-parallel tracks. Thus, if the tracks were non-parallel, the wheel would come off the track and cause a derailment.
