What is the term for a cone shaped feature on the floor of a cave that is found by slow dripping water?
Stalagmites.
How does water and soil help the process of building stalagmites?
The growth rate of stalagamites depends upon the amount and rate of water entering the cave, the amount of acidity and minerals in the water and the temperature and humidity conditions in the cave.

How long does it take for a stalagmite to grow?
impressively it takes 1 million years for stalagmites and stalagtites to grow at the most 1cm. Hope this helps you people:^) Way off!! On average, stalagmites/stalagtites grow at .13 mm or .005 inches per year, and up to 3 mm or .12 inches per year. That would be about 100 yrs to grow 1cm on average.
What is stalagtites stalagmites?
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
How are carbonic acid caverns and dripstone related?
carbonic acid dissolves rock to form cavens, and dripstone is dissolved clcium corbonate in thr form of stalagmites/stalagtites
Can you tell me a poem about caves?
caves caves caves caves why do u want to know?
Why don't stalagmites and stalagtites form at the same time?
It's Stalactites . . . memory aid - it has a "C" in it, and "C" stands for ceiling. And Stalagmites . . . it has a "G" in it, and "G" stands for ground. Anyway, stalactites are formed in a narrow shape because the water droplets that deposit limestone on it hangs there for a while, one narrow drop at a time. Stalagmites are formed at the same time by water droplets depositing limestone, but instead of staying narrow, the water runs, or spreads out, meaning that there is plenty of width, but little height, and they are not as noticeable at first like the stalactites are.
