water rich in dissolved carbonate drips from the ceiling of caves. As it drips, carbonate (CaCo3) precipitates out bit by bit, creating the stalactite.
Caves, their stalactite and stalagmite formations (calcite by precipitation & crystallising of the calcium carbonate) - and scale in kettles etc using water that has passed through the limestone uplands.
limestone
Obsidian is a volcanic or igneous rock. It is formed when lava dries up.
Coal is a type of organic sedimentary rock formed from dead plants.
A pluton is a body of rock formed from the cooling of magma under the surface.
A calcitic stalactite.
stalactite.... the one that formed below it is called stalagmite...
A Stalactite is formed from seepage. The colour depends on which mineral is dissolved in the liquid.
They are called columns. Columns are formed when a stalactite and a stalagmite are joined together.
no its not it is sedimentary rock
Stone pillar formed when stalactite and stalagmite meet, or when stalactite reaches the floor of the cave.
a pillar!
A stalactite.
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
Yes, Limestone is a calcitic sedimentary rock. Its mostly made up of Calcium Carbonate.

Pillars are formed when a stalactite growing downwards , joins a stalagmite growing upwards .
