Can ground water erosion result in the formation of stalactite and stalagmite?
yes it can be formed
When crystals grow down from the ceiling of the cave what do we call them?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up from the ground. A good way to remember is the ''c'' for ceilingin stalactite and the ''g'' for ground in stalagmite.
What landforms are made by ground water erosion?
srry
What is a bank erosion?
a bank erosion is when the river side takes the dirt and soil from the sides of the ground we stand on were we what to jump in at
What are the negative effects of erosion?
The negative effects of erosion are valuable fertile top soil is washed or blown away leading to a situation where earth is no longer held together and isuseless for growing plants or retaining water in the ground. This eventually makes land useless for farming and cattle and can even lead to the formation of desert. Also, desertification, loss of habitat and ecological disaster are negative effects of erosion.

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.
How is stalactite and stalagmite similar?
Stalactites and stalagmites are similar because they are both cave formations that are made out of limestone from the process of water dripping. They are different because a stalactite forms from the ceiling of a cave, and a stalagmite forms from the ground up. One way to remember this is the "C" in stalactite stands for ceiling- it holds tight to the ceiling, and the "G" in stalagmite stands for the ground where it forms. After many years, stalactites and stalagmites can end up touching each other and they form another cave formation called a column.
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.
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
