(i) Natural Change: A change that occurs naturally on its own is called a natural change.
Eg. changing of the season, the occurrence of tides, eclipses.
Man-made Change: A man-made change is one that occurs because of human activities.
E.g. Changing the direction of the flow of a river by building a dam.

(ii) Periodic Change: A change that is repeated after regular intervals of time is called a periodic change.
Examples: Swinging of a pendulum, rising and setting of the sun at a given place.
Non-periodic Change: A change that does not occur after regular intervals of time is called a non-periodic change. Examples: Occurrence of flood and cyclones.


(iii) Temporary Change: Temporary changes are the changes that are there only for a short period of time. Generally, temporary changes are reversible.

Permanent Change: Permanent changes are the changes that remain for a longer time and are not reversible.
