Usually yes: its formative calcite solution is concentrated on the tip of a stalactite but spreads out on impact with the cave floor or the top of the stalagmite.

True or false stalagmites are narrower than stalactites?

Usually false because the dripping, carbonate-rich water spreads out on impact, whereas it is concentrated in the drip... but Nature doesn't work to standards when decorating caves!


How fast do stalactites and stalagmites grow?

1 millimeter every 10 years >.. That may be true for the cave or region giving that value, but the growth rate varies greatly from place to place according to a range of variables. It can be more rapid than that but is often far slower.


Is it true that stalactites are deposits hanging from cave roofs caused by dripping groundwater?

As water goes through ground, it will to a certain extent dissolve some minerals. When water later drips down inside a cave, the water can actually deposit a little bit of the minerals it is carrying. This results in Stalactites from roof and Stalagmites at ground. It is true.


Does salt crystal come from stalagmites?

True.


Is it true stalactites are deposits hanging from cave roofs caused by dripping groundwater?

Maybe it is true. Well I think it is true.


True or false Stalactites attach to the top of a cavern ceiling and hang down?

True. Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of a cavern or cave, formed by dripping water containing minerals that slowly build up over time.


Is it true that Stalactites attach to the top of a cavern ceiling and hang down?

Yes, stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceilings of caves or caverns. They are created by mineral-rich water dripping from above and leaving deposits that build up over time. Stalactites are formed through a slow process, and their growth rate can vary depending on factors such as the mineral content of the water and the stability of the cave environment.


Is it true that the male pelvic cavity is narrower than that of a female?

Yes, it is true. The male pelvic cavity is typically narrower and more heart-shaped, while the female pelvic cavity is wider and shallower with a rounder shape to accommodate childbirth. These differences are due to the biological need for females to carry and give birth to offspring.


Is it true that The smaller the standard deviation of a normal curve the higher and narrower the graph?

Yes, that's true. In a normal distribution, a smaller standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean, resulting in a taller and narrower curve. Conversely, a larger standard deviation leads to a wider and shorter curve, reflecting more variability in the data. Thus, the standard deviation directly affects the shape of the normal distribution graph.
