Answer:
thermal expansion
Liquid-in-glass thermometers are based on the principle of thermal expansion of substances. A liquid in a glass tube (called a capillary) expands when heated and contracts when cooled. A calibrated scale can then be used to read off the respective temperature that led to the corresponding thermal expansion.

Explanation:
The liquids used in such thermometers must have certain properties in order to be suitable for use. For example, they must not freeze at low temperatures, which is why water, for example, is not suitable. The liquids should also have a sufficiently high boiling point so that they do not vaporize at high temperatures. Furthermore, the liquid must expand evenly with the temperature in the measuring range used.
