The different colours are from different minerals. A reddish colour could be due to a mineral containing a lot of iron, for example. Weathering, staining, mineralogy and method of formation all play a part.
Color is often an indicator of the composition of a rock or mineral and can be effectively used to identify the composition of most igneous rocks. Light colors, including white, light gray, tan and pink, indicate a felsic composition.
Rocks vary in colores depending on how much of a certain mineral they contain.
The color of igneous rocks is based on the rate of cooling and mineral composition of the parent magma.
There are different things that can make rocks appear different in color. For example, a couple things are the temperature and moisture.
One forms in magma underground (intrusive);And the other forms above ground in lava (extrusive)
Igneous rocks get their color based upon the mineral content of the igneous rocks.
White, yellow, red, blue, gray, green, pink, brown, and pretty much all colors in between.
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.

Each country has many different rocks.

different wavelengths from different colours
rocks
A star's color is caused by the type of gases its made up of and the temperature..
Sediment is brought to a location from different areas by water and wind. Of course there would be different ones at a different beach.
I think you are referring to lichen, not "linchen." Lichens are a type of fungi that grow on rocks and even trees in different colours and shapes.
White, yellow, red, blue, gray, green, pink, brown, and pretty much all colors in between.
We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.
Rocks are not the same because, they come from either a Volcano, or they are broken from the Earth's ground. So this causes it to be different shapes and sizes.
When you look at a rock and see different colors, those colors are minerals .The pressure and heat causes the minerals in the rock to change into different minerals which cause the different colors in the rocks.
That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.
