They are usually interchangeable
there's just a slight difference between them but both have one in common and that is : they're both increasing more/ became larger / widening / etc.
expand if what you’re talking about is getting wider or taking up more space.
Use extend if what you’re talking about is increasing in duration, length, or reach.
