yes

Can Ground water erosion can result in the formation of stalactite and stalagmite in caves.?
yes
What is the formation that come up from the ground in a cavern?
Stalagmite. That from the roof is a stalactite - think G for Ground and C for Ceiling.
Which cave formation points up from the bottom of the cave?
Stalagmite. The opposite, growing down from the roof, is a stalactite. (G for ground, C for ceiling!)
What is stalagtites?
Stalagmite: A Stalagmite is a rock formation that has been formed by the dripping of water from the ceiling of a cavern for thousands of million of years creating a pointed rock, thick at the base and thinner at the top. Stalagmites are on the floors of caves. Stalactite: A stalactite forms the same way as a stalagmite except that it is attached to the ceiling instead of the ground
Is stalactite an adjective?
No. Stalactite is a noun. It is a formation in caves and other stone structures that hangs from the ceiling and that resembles an icicle. Stalagmites are the related formations that form on the floors of caves, usually right below stalactites. How do you remember which is which? Stalactite has a 'c' for ceiling, and stalagmite has a 'g' for ground.
What is a cone-shaped deposit that rises from floor of a cave?
It is called a stalaGMite. StalaCTites hang from the top. Memory key: the C in stalactite means Ceiling - and G in stalagmite means ground.
What do you call when a stalagmite and stalactite form together?
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and deposits mineral material that builds up from the ground.
Can a stalactite become a stalagmite?
No, a stalactite may not become a stalagmite in any meaningful sense. Calcite-- the mineral both stalactites and stalagmites are made from-- is not flexible or sticky enough to survive a fall and adhere to the ground more or less intact. However, a stalactite may break and fall to the ground, becoming the foundation for a new stalagmite if there is calcite laden water dripping on the point where the stalactite rests. Given enough time, if a stalactite does not break, it will "grow" into its corresponding stalagmite, creating a column. they can become a combination of the two though https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150590970190519&set=a.10150590967785519.435379.639145518&type=3&theater
Are stalactites found on the bottom of caves?
no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up. A way to remember it is stalactite has a "c" for ceiling and stalagmite has a "g" for ground no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up. A way to remember it is stalactite has a "c" for ceiling and stalagmite has a "g" for ground
What kind of formation in a cave grows from the ground?
Stalagmite
What is a cone shaped deposit that rises from the floor cave?
It is called a stalaGMite. StalaCTites hang from the top. Memory key: the C in stalactite means Ceiling - and G in stalagmite means ground.
What is a coned shape deposit that rises from the floor of a cave?
It is called a stalaGMite. StalaCTites hang from the top. Memory key: the C in stalactite means Ceiling - and G in stalagmite means ground.
