Answer:

The problems that can be caused by Expansion or Contraction a;long with the solutions are:

Explanation:

The railway tracks made of steel expand during the summer and contract during the winter. This can cause them to become curved during the summer thereby causing rail derailment.In order to prevent this, an air gap is kept in between the railway lines so that they get the space to expand without getting curved.
The electric wires linking the telegraph posts are made up of metals and so they expand in the summer and contract in the winter, which can cause them to tear. This is why the wires are loosely fixed so that they can expand and sag in the summer and contract and tighten in the winter.
Bridges are constructed with joints where some space is maintained to allow the easy expansion and contraction in summer and winter respectively.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Inflammation is a process that occur when tissues are injured by bacteria,heat,toxin or other causes.

Explanation:

Inflammation triggers damage to the living tissues and thus it creates defense mechanism that protects higher organism from infection and injury.The main purpose of this is to eliminate those agents that is injurious to heath and removes the damage tissues so that body can heal.

This response activates by change in blood flow,increase the permeability of blood vessels,accumulation of fluids,proteins,WBC to the site where tissue damage takes place.

If inflammation occur for few days,called as acute inflammation and when inflammation occur for longer period of time, it is called as chronic inflammation.

Inflammation causes redness by dilation of small blood vessels.

Swelling called edema by accumulation of fluid.

The factors include microorganism,physical agents,inappropriate immunological response,death of tissue.

The infectious agents are virus,bacteria etc.

How may the removal of the forest affect a river that flows beside the hill?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

If the forest on the hill is cleared, than the soil will lose its natural cover and protection from erosion. The soil will become much more exposed to the erosion, and its top layers will be moved away relatively easy and quickly. Those layers will move downwards, and practically will end up into the river that passes beside the hill. With a significant increase of sediments getting into the river, the river will start to deposit much more material. Also, the sediments will make a problem when there's heavy rainfall because the river will be able to get out of its river bad more easily and cause a flood. The water of the river will also became murkier, muddier, which will make it dark yellowish/light brownish in appearance when there will be rainfall.
