Answer:

When the temperature rises, the liquid in the thermometer expands. When the temperature drops, the liquid in the thermometer contracts.

Explanation:

The thermometer is filled with a liquid called mercury. Increase in temperature makes this liquid to expand. The expanded liquid occupies most of the space in the thermometer causing a rise in its level.
