What are the disadvantages if solids liquids and gases did not expand when heated?

If solids, liquids, and gases did not expand when heated, it would significantly hinder numerous natural processes and technologies. For instance, the functioning of engines and refrigeration systems relies on the expansion and contraction of gases. Additionally, many biological and environmental systems depend on thermal expansion for processes like weather patterns and the cycling of nutrients in ecosystems. Lastly, construction materials would face immense stress and potential failure due to temperature changes without the ability to expand.
