Here's why:
* Limestone is a sedimentary rock: It forms from the accumulation of marine organism remains like shells and coral.
* Mountains can be formed from various types of rocks: They can be formed from igneous rocks (like granite), metamorphic rocks (like marble, which can be formed from limestone), or even sedimentary rocks like sandstone.
Examples of limestone mountains:
* The Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States have significant limestone formations.
* The Alps in Europe have limestone peaks and valleys.
Examples of mountains not made of limestone:
* The Himalayas are primarily composed of granite and other igneous rocks.
* The Rocky Mountains are a mix of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, with limestone being a minor component.
So, while some mountains are made of limestone, it's not the only type of rock that forms mountains.
