Stalactites point down from the ceiling, and stalagmites point upwards from the floor. A way to remember this is that stalactites hold tight onto the roof and stalagmites might reach the rook one day. The rock formation that goes from ceiling to floor is called a column.
yes but there are not called stalagmites and stalactites there are called speleothems
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.
When stalactites and stalagmites join it is called a column
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
stalagmites & stalactites are examples of a chemical sedimentary rock
Stalactites and stalagmites are classified as precipitates, a type of chemical sedimentary rock. Yes, rocks can grow like stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites and stalagmites are corresponding rock formations , stalactites being the ones on the roof of the cave and stalagmites the ones on the cave floor. Why are they formed? They are formed because water leaking into the caves craves out the rocks slowly into stalagmites and stalactites.
if you mean are stalagmites narrower than stalactites then they can both be bigger than each other because there sises are nearly allways different
Stalactites have to hold on tight. Stalagmites might reach the roof.
No because there are stalactites and stalagmites they are not the same thing
