This may also refer to the two different ways that a gas can respond to a temperature change: volume expansion or pressure increase. If the temperature of a gas is increased and the volume is not allowed to change, the pressure will increase proportionately. On the other hand, if the pressure is kept constant - say in a tank with a weighted lid - the volume will expand in proportion to the change in absolute temperature.

USUALLY SOLIDS HAVING THREE DIMESIONS HAVE A CUBICAL EXPANSION (OR) VOLUME EXPAANSION.
THE CO-EFFICIENT OF CUBICAL EXPANSION IS "GAMMA".
WHEN THE 3-D SOLID IS HEATED IT EXPANDS IN LENGHT ,BREADTH & HEIGHT.
THE RELATION BETWEEN THE THREE EXPANSIONS IS IN THE RATIO
1:2:3
