what does it mean when someone says stalactites stem from the ceiling of a cave
stalagmites are on the ground, stalactites are on the ceiling.( there was a rhyme for it but I forgot) :) +++ Try "c for ceiling, g for ground". I think the rhyme you mean is something like, "Stalagmites might reach the roof, stalactites hang on tight"!
It is very variable, depending on many interacting factors. A common rate often quoted by show-cave guides is "an inch in a thousand years", and while that might be the mean value for that cave, it is by no means universal. Further, the rate can vary with time and climate change, to the extent that analysis of speleothems' growth rates is now used as one of various tools in palaeoclimate studies.
if you mean on the dungeons list AEGIS CAVE is after miracle sea..veronica
Showing your bare backside to someone

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

A deposit on the roof of a cave is typically referred to as a stalactite, which is a mineral formation hanging from the ceiling that is formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalactites are a common feature in caves and can vary in size and shape depending on the minerals present in the water dripping from the cave ceiling.
Stalactites are the formations that grow downward from the top of caves in national parks like Caves National Park. They are created by mineral deposits left behind by dripping water.
Causes of ceilings buckling include age, water damage, installation issues, and foundation damage. If a ceiling buckles after rain, there is most likely a leak in the roof, and water is pooling up in the ceiling, and will eventually cave in.
Ceiling eyes is a phrase used to describe someone who appears to be disconcerted about something. It could also mean that they are in a state of blank starring.
if you mean are stalagmites narrower than stalactites then they can both be bigger than each other because there sises are nearly allways different
A coombed ceiling is a ceiling which slopes downward.
It can be used for example if you cause somebody substantial pain...because it hurts so much, you would have to peel him/her off of the ceiling because they went berserk with the pain.
