The changes in shape that the moon goes through are called phases.
The periodic changes in the moon's shape are called phases. The moon goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth, including new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
The phases of the moon refer to the changes in its shape as seen from Earth. These phases are a result of the relative positions of the moon, Earth, and sun, causing sunlight to reflect differently off the moon's surface.
The apparent change in the sunlit portion of the moon through the month is called waxing (getting larger, from crescent through full) or waning (getting smaller, from full down to crescent).
The apparent changes in the shape of the moon are called lunar phases. These phases include the waxing and waning crescent, first and third quarter, and waxing and waning gibbous, leading to the primary phases of new moon and full moon.
The moon's changing appearance is due to its position relative to the sun and Earth. As the moon orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, creating the phases we see from Earth.
The process of rocks changing shape is called deformation. Deformation can occur through processes such as folding, faulting, and shearing, resulting in changes in the shape and structure of rocks.
The periodic changes in the moon's shape are called phases. The moon goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth, including new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
The Moon only seems to "change shape". We only see one side of the Moon from Earth. The variation in the amount of sunlight hitting that side of the Moon, as it orbits Earth, is why we see the apparent changes in shape. These changes are called "lunar phases".

When something changes like that it is called transformation.

It is called a physical change.

The process of changing the shape of rocks is called weathering. This can happen through physical processes such as erosion, abrasion, or cracking due to temperature changes, and chemical processes such as dissolution or oxidation.
