Water boiling in a teakettle
Frost is a phase change of a gas to a solid (deposition). Water vapor turns directly to ice.
The phase change of sublimation is not correctly paired with the sign of its change in enthalpy. Sublimation involves the transition from solid to gas phase without passing through the liquid phase, and it is an endothermic process where heat is absorbed. The other phase changes—melting (endothermic), freezing (exothermic), vaporization (endothermic), and condensation (exothermic)—are correctly paired with the sign of their change in enthalpy.
A phase change is an example of a physical change, not a chemical, nuclear, or covalent change. During a phase change, the substance undergoes a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in its chemical composition.
When a solid is heated, it will usually change to the liquid phase. This process is known as melting.

What is the phase change in evaporation
Change of phase is caused 99% of the time by a change in temperature or pressure.
An exothermic phase change is one that releases heat to the surroundings. Among common phase changes, freezing (liquid to solid) and condensation (gas to liquid) are exothermic processes. During these changes, energy is released as the substance transitions to a more stable state.

This phase change is called evaporation.

When ice melts and becomes water, that is a phase change. Same when water boils and becomes steam (a gas) that is also a phase change.
