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 else can I help you with?
When a stalactite meets a stalagmite the result is a?
column. A column is formed when a stalactite and stalagmite grow long enough to meet and fuse together, creating a pillar-like structure in a cave.
When a stalactite and a stalagmite grow together it is called?
a column
What do you call Stalagmite and Stalactite when they touch each other?
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form a column.
How long does it take for a stalagmite or stalactite to grow?
Stalagmites and stalactites grow at an average rate of 0.005 to 0.01 inches per year. However, growth rates can vary depending on factors such as mineral content in the water, temperature, and cave conditions. It can take hundreds to thousands of years for them to reach a significant size.
Stalactite and stalagmite when they grow together?
When a stalactite and stalagmite grow together, they form a column. This happens when water dripping from a stalactite reaches the floor and the mineral deposits from the water build up to create the stalagmite. Over time, the two formations can merge to become a solid column.
Does a calcium stalagmite form on a idle human?
Stalagmites and stalactites can take thousands of years to reach just a few inches. The rate of growth for a stalagmite is based on the amount of water that is flowing through the rocks and the amount of Ca dissolved in it, but they most certainly do not grow overnight. So, no, no human could stand still long enough to have a stalagmite form on them.

When a stalactite and a stalagmite form it is called a?
If you mean the result of them meeting, tip to tip, as they grow, then thickening from that as a single shaft of calcite from roof to floor, the result is a "Column".
How tall does a stalagmite grow per year?
The average growth is 0.13 mm a year
Can a stalactites grow without a stalagmite below it and how?
Yes, a stalactite can grow without a corresponding stalagmite below it. If there is a river flowing under the water seeping through the rock, the stalactite will grow while the river will sweep away the mineral rich water.
What is the technical name for the joining of a stalactite and stalagmite?
The joining of a stalactite and stalagmite is called a column. It forms when the two mineral deposits meet and grow together over time in a cave.
How do stalagmites grow 'upwards'?
Stalagmites grow upwards from the floor of a cave due to the accumulation of mineral-rich water dripping from the ceiling. As the water drips and evaporates, it leaves behind mineral deposits like calcite which gradually build up over time, forming the stalagmite structure. This process can take thousands of years for a stalagmite to reach significant height.
