When a stalactite and stalagmite meet?
cave
What will happens when a stalagmite and a stalgcite meet?
They do meet and form a column
How does stalagmite form?
Stalagmites, as well as other forms of "drip stones," form as evaporation from mineral-saturated water causes crystal deposition. The stalagmite grows upward from the floor and mightjoin the stalactite that is growing downward to meet it. Once they join, the formation is called a column.
Why do some stalactites grow without a stalagmite below them or some stalagmites without a stalactite above them?
Stalactites and stalagmites are slightly different in their growth and do not depend on each other to grow. A stalactite grows when calcium carbonate and other ions precipitate out from the groundwater. A stalagmite forms when calcium carbonate and other ions precipitate out from the groundwater. This water does not need to come from stalactites. When a stalactite and a stalagmite do grow with one above the other, they are called a column when they meet.
How does a stalactite form?
== == A "stalactite" also known as dripstone, is like a stone icicle on the ceiling of a limestone cave. It develops when water, in which minerals (usually primarily calcium carbonate) is dissolved, drips though cracks in cave ceiling. As the water falls, it leaves behind microscopic amounts of the mineral. Over time, this collects to form an icicle-like structure. Note that a "stalagmite" is like an upside-down stalactite growing up from the floor. When water drips from a stalactite and hits the cave floor, there is often a microscopic mineral deposit left there as well. This deposit builds up over time. It is possible, by the way, for a stalactite and stalagmite to meet, forming a mineral column.

What is a stalagnate?
Stone pillar formed when stalactite and stalagmite meet, or when stalactite reaches the floor of the cave.

Structure that goes all the way from the cave's ceiling to the floor?
A stalactite is a structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cave and is formed by minerals dripping down, while a stalagmite is a structure that rises from the floor of a cave and is formed by minerals deposited from drips falling from the stalactite. When a stalactite and a stalagmite eventually meet and grow together, they form a column.
How is offspring produced?
they meet with another reptile
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
What gas is produced when a metal and a strong acid meet?
Hydrogen gas (H2) would be produced.
How are offspring produced?
When the egg cell and the sperm cell meet.
