Answer 1

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{\purple{A{\pink{N{\green{S{\blue{W{\red{E{\orange{R}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, volume, and area in response to a change in temperature. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance.

Answer 2

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature, usually not including phase transitions. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance
