Because there's not a lot of sun to make them green
There is a chemical in leaves that makes them green during the summer, when the plant is thriving, but in winter or fall, the plant hibernates, which causes a chemical reaction, turning the leaves of the plant red or orange or yellow.

Gravity causes objects to accelerate downward, whereas air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion and reduces acceleration.. An example would be a flying squirrel- The gravity if pushing down on the squirrel as it falls from a tree and air resistance pushes up on the squirrel, causing the squirrel to not fall straight, it would drift back and forth until it reaches it's destination.

Fungi will reproduce and spores will land on the leaves and decompose it. Thus, the leaves will never pile up.
