How and why the moon change it shapes?
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".

What causes the moon to change it's shape?
The moon does not change shapes. The shadow of the earth on the moon changes how much of it you can see.Another viewpoint: I think this question is about the "phases" of the Moon.The Moon only appears to change shape during its different phases.Exactly one half of the Moon is in sunlight at any time. The phases occur because the Moon orbits Earth. That causes us to see different amounts of the sunlit Moon, and so its shape seems to change.
Why has the moon got different shapes?
The moon itself cannot generate light. It is the sun light that the moon reflects. When a part of moon is behind the earth, the moon seems different; when the whole moon is shaded by the earth, an eclipse happens.
