What term refers to the formations that grows downward from the top of the cave?
Formations that grow downward from the top of a cave are called stalactites. Stalactites may be composed of amberat, lava, minerals, mud, peat, pitch, and sand. Formations that grow from the floor upwards are called stalagmites. (You can remember the difference by thinking of the phrase "ants in your pants". The mites go up and the tights come down.)

How do you get hardened mud out of a BB gun barrel?
Soak it it a lightweight oil.
Do stalagmites fall?
They can topple, but not usually, because stalagmites grow up from the, or a, floor. If the floor moves - perhaps because it was a boulder or a mud-bank rather than bed-rock, and it slumps - then so will the stalagmite. . I wonder if you meant stalactites. They can drop from the ceiling by their own weight, but that's very rare. Some of the fallen stalactites you find may have been dislodged by a minor earthquake at some time in the cave's geological history; or more recently by basting shock if the host hillside is being quarried. Others, in active stream caves, have been broken off by very rare, extreme, floods.
What one major fault reduces the viability of a joint?
mud or stone hardened
Which came first shale or mud?
Mud came first, as it is the raw material from which shale is formed. Shale is a sedimentary rock that forms from compacted and hardened mud over time due to pressure and heat.
How do mud stalagmites form?
Mud stalagmites form in caves when dripping water brings in mud particles that accumulate and harden over time. As the water evaporates, sediment is left behind, slowly building up into a stalagmite formation. The process typically takes hundreds to thousands of years to create a significant stalagmite.
