The major cause of changes in states of matter is the change in temperature.
As the temperature decreases to certain limit, a gas will condenses into a liquid and a liquid will freeze into a solid. It also works the other way around. And so, when temperature increases to certain limit, a solid will melt into a liquid, and a liquid will evaporate into a gas. However, there are special cases where a solid can turn into a gas (skipping the liquid phase) through a process called sublimation.
The temperatures at which these phase changes happen depend on the substances since different substances have different chemical make ups and bonding structures.

What are the major causes of changes to phases of matter?
compounds
What is a major cause of temperature changes on earth?
The angle of the sun's rays is one of the major causes of temperature changes on Earth.
What provides the ultimate driving source for wind?
changes in air pressure cause wind, but the sun is the major factor in changes to air pressure.
What has the largest space between particles?
If you are discussing the three major states of matter, the answer is that the space between molecules is the largest in gases and smallest in solids. If you are discussing all five states of matter, the answer is that space between molecules is the largest in plasmas and the smallest in Bose-Einstein Condensates. However, these two states of matter are very rare and difficult to achieve.
Can a tropical storm form a coastal plain?
No. Topographic features such as coastal plains generally take millions of years to form; a single storm cannot cause such major changes.

Matter changes state because of?
Matter changes state because of temperature and pressure. These quantities bring change.

How did railroads cause major changes in people's lives?

Would rising temperatures on earth cause major changes in plant and animal communities?
Yes, rising temperatures on earth cause major changes in plant and animal communities due to many physical changes in the environment.
What describes how catastrophe differ from major life changes?
Catastrophes are disastrous events that can cause major life changes. But major life changes can differ from good to bad. Like getting married, which is good, and losing your mother, which is bad. [i would hope].
Name the theory that explains the major differences between these states of matter?
Kenetic Theory
What provides the ultimate driving source for wind?
changes in air pressure cause wind, but the sun is the major factor in changes to air pressure.
Which describes how catastrophes differ from major life changes?
Catastrophes are events that pretty minor events when compared to a major life changes. Major life events cause a great deal of stress to a person in a short period of time, whereas catastrophes cause minor stressors, which can keep accumulating if the stressors happen daily.
