Here's why:
* Heat is a form of energy. When heat is absorbed, it's essentially adding energy to the object.
* Particles in matter are constantly in motion. This motion is related to their kinetic energy.
* Increased energy means increased motion. The additional energy from the absorbed heat causes the particles to move faster.
This increased particle motion can manifest in several ways:
* Solids: The particles vibrate more intensely.
* Liquids: The particles move around more freely.
* Gases: The particles move faster and collide more frequently.
