Heat from the engine causes liquid to expand. It used to overflow onto the ground if it caused enough pressure to open the radiator cap. The overflow tanks were installed to automatically catch and return the coolant to the cooling system.

It could be a couple of things. The coolant system could be over full. There could be a clog in the radiator.

What causes pressure to cooling system to force water into overflow reservoir?
Pressure in the cooling system can cause water to be forced into the overflow reservoir due to factors such as a faulty radiator cap, a blockage in the system, or overheating of the engine. When the pressure builds up beyond the capacity of the system, the excess coolant is released into the overflow reservoir to prevent damage to the system.

Why does Overflow Reservoir on 1999 Ford Taurus keep overflowing gauge doesn't read hot changed the hoses flushed Radiator replaced Thermostat and reservoir?
It sounds like you have a blown head gasket. Combustion gases can enter the cooling system through either a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. The gases (under pressure) force coolant out of the reservoir. This also causes a void in the upper part of the cooling system , leaving no coolant at the thermostat and the coolant temperature sending unit. The result is a erroneous temperature Reading and will even prevent the thermostat from opening.
