The first one appear to be a pan with some liquid heating up.

The beginning state is liquid, the phase change type is a vaporization and its ending state is gas.

The second one seems to be a ice cube melting.

Its beginning phase is solid, the phase change type is fusion, and its ending state is liquid.

The third one is water, or other liquid, making clouds.

The beginning state is liquid, the phase change type is a vaporization and its ending state is gas.

The fourth illustration seems to be an aluminium can. There aren't really a phase change happening, but when we open the aluminium can containing gaseous drink, there are molecules of gas diluted into the liquid and some of it encouter each other to make a bubble of the gas and is released. It is not an actually phase change, it is the reverse process of diluting gas into liquid. Initially it is diluted gas, it gets released and in the end it is in gas phase.
