Expansion



 
  Expansion may refer to:
  • In physics:
  • expansion of space,
  • thermal expansion
    Thermal expansion

    Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. When a substance is heated, its constituent particles move around more vigorously and by doing so generally maintain a greater average separation....
