I came across the word 「変化」 meaning "change, alteration". I already know the
word 「変更」 that means "change" as well. What is the difference between both
terms?

I found a related question where they discuss [変わる vs
変化](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/54638/32952), but they say nothing on
変更。

よろしくお願いします！

What is the difference between 「変更」 and 「変化」?
変更 specifically refers to a human-caused update/modification of a plan,
project, document, destination, etc. 変化 refers to change in general.

As suru-verbs, 変更する is transitive, and 変化する is intransitive.

For example, you can say 季節の変化 but not 季節の変更. You can say 計画を変更する but not
計画を変化する.
