What are stone formations that usually hang from the rooofs of limestone caves?
Stalactites - comprised of the mineral calcite, and although not all limestone caves contain stalactites, these formations always hang from the roofs otherwise they would not be stalactites!
What is stulactite?
Stalactites are found in limestone caves. They are the limestone formations hanging from the roof. Limestone is calcium carbonate salts. Stalagmites are the formations growing up to the roof. (One way to remember: Stalactites have to hold on tight or they will fall and stalagmites might reach the roof one day.)
