What is a deposit of calcite on a cave floor?
A deposit of calcite on a cave floor is known as cave popcorn or cave coral. It forms when water containing dissolved calcium carbonate drips or seeps into a cave and then evaporates, leaving behind calcite deposits in the form of popcorn-like or coral-like formations.
How are roof cave and floor cave deposits similar?
They are formed by the deposit of minerals. They are left behind by evaporation.
Limestone deposit hanging from the ceiling ofa cave?
A limestone deposit hanging from the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. Stalactites form when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and leaves behind mineral deposits that gradually build up over time, creating a cone-shaped structure that hangs down. Stalactites are common in caves with limestone formations.
A moraine is a cone shaped deposit of calcite that builds up on the floor of a cave?
False
What type of deposit forms under a roof of a cave?
This type of deposit is called a stalactite. Stalactites are made up of calcium deposits from the runoff water coming into the cave.

What are stalagmite's?
a mound or tapering column rising from the floor of a cave,
How does the floor of a limestone cave form?
I'm not really sure what you had in mind. Given that the cave is in limestone (as the vast majority of them are) there has to be a dimensional limit to the dissolution and erosion processes. The floor is there by default: it is the lowest surface along a passage at that given time in the cave's development.
What a cone-shaped deposit that rises from the floor of a cave is called what?
stalagmite
How are roof cave and floor cave deposits similar?
They are formed by the deposit of minerals. They are left behind by evaporation.
How do groundwater deposits floor of limestone cave?
The ground-water is a solution of calcium carbonate it has dissolved from the limestone above the cave. The mineral is subsequently precipitated as deposits of calcite in the cave: stalatcties & stalagmites, and flowstone on the floor and walls.
What is a stone column rising from the floor of a cave called?
A stone column rising from the floor of a cave is called a stalagmite. It forms over thousands of years as mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and deposits minerals on the cave floor, gradually building up into a column shape.
