What causes buckling in timber floors?

From a professional specification perspective:

Buckling occurs when multiple boards raise above adjacent areas, typically caused by excessive moisture absorption or insufficient expansion allowance at the perimeter. In floated floor sections, it is most commonly caused by inadequate expansion gaps. FSA Network floor sanders ensure proper expansion allowance to prevent buckling in every installation.
