Answer: Heat causes the molecules to move faster.

Explanation: All three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) expand when heated. ... heat causes molecules to move faster (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy). This means that the volume of gas will be larger than the volume of solid or liquid.
