Mountains change color depending on what they're made of. Imagine some rocks are like blue candies, and others are like red marbles. When light hits them, the red ones look more red, and the blue ones look more blue. This is why mountains can look different from one another, it's all about the materials inside the rock.
Examples
- A mountain made of red rocks looks like a big red candy on a sunny day.
- White snow-covered peaks reflect light back at you, making them look bright.
