How do stalagmites fom?

They are deposits of calcium carbonate formed on the floor of a cave by the dripping of calcareous water. Can take thousands of years to 'grow'


How do stalagmites and stalactites form in a cave?

They are carbonate deposits formed by dripping water in air-filled cavities.


Stalagmites are formed from?

Stalagmites, which are found in caves, are cone-shaped formations of calcium deposits made by calcium concentrated water dripping through the cave ceiling and onto the floor of the cave. Once the water evaporates, solid calcium is left behind thus forming a stalagmite. These deposits form like an icicle hanging from the cave roof.However not to be confused with a stalactite (which is a cone-shaped calcium deposit hanging from the ceiling of a cave), stalagmites are cone-shaped icicle formations of calcium deposits that build upward from the cave floor.


How is form a stalactites?

Do you mean "How are stalactites formed?" ? They are deposits of calcite precipitated from solution in water dripping from joints in cave roofs.


How pure is the water coming out of an air conditioner outlet?

Not very pure. The water is dripping off a coil that has dirt and pipes that have calcium deposits and probably some mold.


How are stalactits formed?

Stalactites are formed through calcium carbonate deposits made by mineral rich water dripping through the ceiling and onto the floor of the cave. The water evaporates, leaving the calcium carbonate behind. These deposits form a stalactite, like an icicle hanging from the cave roof. Don't mix Stalactites and Stalagmites up, Stalactites are on the Ceiling (C in stalactites) and Stalagmites are on the ground (G in stalagmites).Remember this way: The Mites go up, and the Tites go down.


How do salts and gypsum deposits form?

What is the pointed section of a cave called?

The pointed section of a cave is called a stalactite. Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed by mineral deposits from dripping water.


What are two features that are formed by underground deposition?

Stalagmites and stalactites are two features formed by underground deposition. Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed as mineral-rich water drips down and leaves behind deposits of minerals. Stalagmites, on the other hand, form on the cave floor as the dripping water deposits minerals and builds up over time.


What are formed by dripping water that freezes?

Icicle .


How do you remove calcium deposits out of the actual water?

Well . . . there are no calcium deposits in water, there is only calcium. The deposits happen on things that the water falls on, then dries. What is left is a deposit. To remove the calcium (and magnesium) from water, you run the water through a tank full of little beads of "Filtersord". Most water purifiers use this along with charcoal, which removes bits of dust, and so forth.
