The male parts of the flower are called the stamens and are made up of the anther at the top and the stalk or filament that supports the anther. The female elements are collectively called the pistil. The top of the pistil is called the stigma, which is a sticky surface receptive to pollen.
Hope this helps :)
Temporary changes would be weather, since it can change at any givin time another example would be tides coming in because they vary by day, or wet sand becoming dry sand!
