Because you are just breaking it into smaller pieces. The rock's chemical make up is not being changed.
Yes, crushing rocks is considered a physical change because the rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. This process can be reversed by reassembling the pieces back together.
A physical change is a change which affects only the physical properties of an object, not its chemical properties. Examples include breaking glass, smoothing a rock with a sander, and freezing water. As long as a new substance is not created in a process, the process is a physical change.

No. It is a physical change.
Changes of state are physical changes.
Smashing a pumpkin is a physical change.
Smashing a pumpkin is a physical change because it alters the appearance and shape of the pumpkin without changing its chemical composition.
Smashing a car is a physical change because when the car is smashed it's, still the car. You didn't use any chemiclas to change it - the changes are only in appearance. So it's still a car until you use some kind of chemical to change it.
Crushing a rock is a physical change. It is still rock, just in smaller bits.
Smashing a pumpkin is a physical change because the pumpkin is being broken down into smaller pieces without altering its chemical composition. The bonds between the pumpkin's molecules remain the same, even though the shape of the pumpkin changes.
When molten rock cools and hardens, it is a physical change because the composition of the rock remains the same. The change in state from liquid to solid does not alter the chemical makeup of the rock.
Grinding something is an example of a physical change, because you are not chemically changing what the substance is, you are only changing the form of it. Another example of a physical change is boiling water, because the water is still water, it's just in a gas form instead of liquid.When something is grinded it is a physical change not a chemical change.
The bug splattered on the windshield is a physical change because the bug's physical state changed from solid to liquid upon impact. There is no change in the chemical composition of the bug or the windshield.
No actually it isn't. Breaking a bone is a physical change. Think about it. Are you changing it into a different substance. No you're not, so it's a physical change.
A physical change
When a sculptor uses a chisel on a rock, the rock undergoes physical change. The chisel physically alters the shape and structure of the rock to create the desired sculpture.
the Smashing Pumpkins were inspires by artists like My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, goth rock, prog rock, and heavy metal bands.
