What is the process that causes the moon to change phases?
The moon changes phases because different portions of the moon are illuminated by the sun, as seen by observers on Earth. The angle formed by the sun, the Earth, and the moon, is constantly changing as the Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the Earth.
Why does it look like the moon is changing?
Because the sun, the moon, and the Earth are constantly changing their relative positions with respect to each other, different parts of the moon are illuminated by the sun, from the viewpoint of a given observer at a given time. The part of the moon that is not illuminated can't be seen from Earth, it is just a dark moon against the darkness of space.
