Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the ground decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !
