It's an example of a chemical change. Rusting is a chemical process by which iron metal reacts with oxygen in the air to produce iron oxide, otherwise known as rust. A chemical change means you end up with something you didn't have before. Every chemical reaction has an equation associated with it, and the equation for rusting iron is:

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
