But when the tragic incident occurs between those who are near or dear to one another--if, for example, a brother kills, or intends to kill, a brother, a son his father, a mother her son, a son his mother, or any other deed of the kind is done---these are the situations to be looked for by the poet.
When water is heated it expands. For example, water heated from 90Â°F to a thermostat setting of 140Â°F in a 40 gallon hot water heater will expand by almost one-half gallon.
In a few cases, heat actually makes some things contract rather than expand. The best example is water. When ice is heated from 0 to 4 degrees C, it actually contracts. The water molecules get closer together and the water occupies less volume. However, above 4 degrees C water expands as it is heated like most other liquids. In general though, heat makes solids, liquids, and gasses expand.
