This phenomenon can be explained by the process of plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crust over millions of years. The mountain may have once been at the bottom of the sea and was uplifted to its current height through tectonic forces. Over time, erosion and weathering exposed the seashells that were once underwater.

Why was Sally selling seashells by the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway?

Sally was selling seashells by the seashore when you can just pick them up, because she would have a monopoly of all the seashells if she collected all the seashells on that particular seashore, and therefore could sell sea shells by the sea shore. The answer above is a good one, but I have always wondered why she wouldn't take the shells farther inland, so people wouldn't ask the question you asked. Because she sucks at business.
