Yep that is expand and contract, different that compressing under pressure.
One is thermal and one is pressure.
Like Emery says, the reason our brakes, jacks, power steering,all work is
because liquids for all practical purposes, do not compress under pressure.
When your brakes get hot you will heat the brake fluid and get more
pressure, but if you get them so hot you boil the brake fluid and get air
in the lines, you will loose pressure and braking.
