To change phases of matter, you need to either add or remove energy. Increasing energy input causes a substance to change from solid to liquid to gas (melting, vaporization), while decreasing energy input causes the reverse phase changes (condensation, freezing). The temperature and pressure of the substance also play a role in determining its phase.
The moon causes the sea to cycle through tides by tugging the water into sort of an oblong circle and spinning it around the earth. The Sun causes the moon to change "phases" much as it causes the Earth to change days. The moon just turns much slower than the Earth and ends up never actually turning its "face" away from us.
The moon does not actually change shape, but its appearance from Earth does. This is due to its orbit around the Earth, which causes different portions of the moon to be illuminated by the sun at different times.

Yes. Matter can change phases in the process of melting, freezing, evaporating, and simulating.
No, straining does not cause a chemical change. It is a physical process used to separate solid particles from liquids or to separate different liquid phases based on their physical properties. The substances involved retain their chemical identities during straining, meaning no new substances are formed.
The changing phases of the moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight it reflects changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
A chemical reaction causes substances to combine in different ways to make other substances.
it is not a shadow
