True or false Stalactites attach to the top of a cavern ceiling and hang down?
true
Do stalactites rise from the floor or hang from the ceiling in the limestone caves?
Down from ceiling
Do stalactites rise from the floor or from the celling of limestone caves?
Stalactites come down from the ceiling. A good way to remember is to think that to come down from the ceiling, they have to hang on 'tite'.
Do stalactites rise from the floor or hang from the ceiling of lime stone caves?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up- from the floor. Think of the "c" and "g".
Do stalagmites hang up or down?
Stalagmites grow from the floor, stalagtites hang from the ceiling. I remember this by thinking stalagmites "might reach the ceiling" and stalactites are "tightly held"

What is the opposite of stalagmites?
The opposite would be stalactites, which form from the ceiling down, while stalagmites form from the floor up. (The venerable mnemonic is that stalactites hold tite/tight to the ceiling.)
What rock formations hang from the celing of some caves?
This would be called a precipitate. A precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms out of a solution when it becomes supersaturated. Calcite precipitates are often found in limestone caves in the form of stalagmites.
How is stalactites and stalagmites different?
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.
Where are stalactites found in a cave?
Stalactites are found on the ceiling of caves and are made by the dripping of water enriched with calcium, from the cracks in the ceiling. when the calcium precipitates from the water it leaves calcium and the water drops down to start the formation of stalagmites that are created in the same process but are created by the water dripping off of stalactites. :) hope this helped
Which one is which the stalactites?
The ones that are the stalactites are those growing down from the cave roof. Those growing up from the floor are stalagmites. (C for ceiling, g for ground - other mnemonics are available.)
Do stalagmites hang up or down?

When crystals grow down from the ceiling of the cave what do we call them?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up from the ground. A good way to remember is the ''c'' for ceilingin stalactite and the ''g'' for ground in stalagmite.
Which stalactites and stalagmites are Produced?
Stalactites drip down from the ceiling. This happens at a very slow rate due to the the high concentration of CaCO3 within the water. As this drips down, Stalacgmites form, moving upwards at also a very slow rate.
