What happens when materials undergo physical change?
Physical Change ➢ In physical change, only form or state, size, or shape changes. Example: If a piece of paper is cut up into small pieces it is still a paper. ( A physical change in the shape and size.) ➢ Does not result in a new material; thus, the new form may be changed back into the old form or state. Example: Water turns to ice and ice melting to water. (Ice and water are both H2O. The identity of the matter is not changed, just the state is being changed.) ➢ Physical change affects the appearance.

Is caving wood an physical change or chemical change?
Physical. The molecules of wood are not being changed, only the shape of the physical material.
How does physical and chemical weathering combine to affect rocks?
they both shape the earths surface and so in that way it shapes rocks. Mechanical weathering has release of pressure freezing and thawing and so on and so on
Is a piece of metal is bent in half a chemical change?
It is a physical change because only its shape changed, not its chemical composition.
In physical change can matter change its shape?
If by matter you mean molecules / atoms then no. Physical change is when the look / shape of something is changed but not its chemical structure, chemical change is when the molecules that make up the object n question are changed.

Is the shape of an apple a physical change?
When you shape an apple differently than what it comes you have made a physical change. This is because you have not changed the chemical composition of the apple yet it appears differently.
