I guess this really is me being very very dumb but does someone have a thorough explanation of why things rise when it’s placed in the oven or somewhere really really hot? (Cake dough for example) as i was mainly just told that things rise in the oven.

(most) Dough rises because it has yeast in it, microorganisms that fart when they eat sugars and have a warm environment (this creates the consistency of the cake, and why it’s not totally solid like pie filling or cheesecake). So in this case, the heat is providing the proper environment for yeast to release gas.
