Physical change or chemical change?

Oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms. Freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. Carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. Fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point. Solid waste decomposes in landfills and produces methane gas.
