Shattering is only a physical change because the chemical composition is still the same (unless you're shattering molecules or atoms).

yes
The wedge shattering the slab of shale is a physical change. This is because the shale undergoes a change in shape and size without any new substances being formed.
Shattered glass is a physical change because the identity of the glass does not change.
Bowl shattering is a physical change. It occurs due to the application of force or pressure, which causes the bonds between the particles of the bowl to break, resulting in a physical breakage of the bowl.
I assume you are talking about a solid shattering. This is a physical change. The reason it is not a chemical change is that say in glass for instance, the silicon dioxide molecules themselves do not change. It is just the shape that changes.
A plate dropping and shattering is a physical change. It is not a chemical change, as the material used in making the plate doesn't change.
That's a physical change, becuase shattered glass is still glass, it's just in a bunch of pieces. Its chemical composition has not changed, only its shape.
No. That is a change in physical properties. Signs of a chemical change are burning, color change, heat or cold. Obviously simply heating something up directly doesn't count nor adding coloring.

Physical weathering refers to the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces through mechanical forces such as frost shattering, root wedging, and abrasion. This type of weathering does not change the chemical composition of the rock, only its physical appearance.
Crumple is a physical change.
