Here's why we say that:
* Mountains are not living beings: They don't have brains or vocal cords to communicate.
* We use metaphors: We might say things like "the mountain whispers secrets" to describe the feeling of awe and peace we get in nature. But it's just a figure of speech.
Instead of speaking, mountains "communicate" through:
* Their beauty: The shapes, colors, and textures of mountains can inspire us.
* Their history: They tell stories of the earth's formation and the changes over time.
* Their presence: They stand tall and strong, reminding us of the power and grandeur of nature.
So, while mountains don't speak in words, they do communicate in a powerful and meaningful way. 😊
