What are the differences between stalacties and stalagmites?

Stalacties are secondary minerals that commonly form on the ceiling of limestone caves. Stalagmites are formations that rise out of the ground of caves - formed by calcium salt deposits left from water drips. Therefore the difference lies within where they are formed within the cave.


Which one of the following statements is correct A Stalagmites are narrower than stalactites B Stalagmites form on the ceiling of a cavern C Stalagmites are formed from water containing salt?

The only statement actually listed is not correct, at least not always. (We're really not ideally set up here for multiple choice questions.) the answer is: Stalagmites are coned-shaped deposits. D is correct. Stalagmites are cone-shaped deposits. +++ As a general rule C is wrong, certainly in limestone; but Iranian cavers recently discovered a beautiful cave formed entirely by dissolution of the salt in a massive rock-salt bed; and this contains really lovely salt-crystal formations! A more common exception is gypsum - calcium sulphate - which often appears as lovely, fine porcupine quill-like elongated crystals, on the clay which it is its mineral source.
