What is the difference between 変わる and 変化


As usual I'm studying for the JLPT and I found a word that has the same
meaning as another one.

According to the dictionary

>   * [変]{か}わる: to change; to be transformed
>
>   * [変化]{へんか} (する): (to) change
>
>

If you can explain to me what is the difference and give me some examples of
each one I'll be grateful.

This is the change of the appearance of the same tree as in spring, summer,
and autumn. If you regarded it as three variations, it should be 三"変化" as the
change of the seasons. If you see it as an animation, it should have been
changing "変わる" as seasons going.
