Precipitation of calcium carbonate in its crystalline form, calcite, from solution in weakly acid ground-water from the limestone above the cave.
limestone
Yes, stalagmites are typically made of limestone. They form from mineral deposits left behind by dripping water in caves, which contain calcium carbonate. Over time, these deposits accumulate to form the stalagmites.
No, they are made from minerals leached out of the earth by water.
Stalagmites grow up.
No. Only living organisms have cells. Although stalagmites and stalactites appear to grow, it is not due to the reproduction of cells or living organisms. Stalagmites and stalactites are composed of atoms which are connected into molecules. They are made of the same things as any other rock.
Stalagmites are a physical change.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

stalactites and stalagmites are sedimentary rock becausethey are made from sediment that as formed together. just like how igneous rock is formed by lava or magma that has cooled over time.
Calcium Carbonate
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
I saw stalagmites they were ugly but then i saw you and i rather liked the stalagmites
