Stalactites
A sinkhole forms.
When the roof of a cave wears away and the ground sinks in, it forms a sinkhole. Sinkholes are depressions or holes in the ground that are typically caused by the collapse of surface material into underground caves or voids.
The roof of a cave is referred to as the "ceiling" or "overhang".
The ceiling of a cave is often referred to as the "roof" or "cave roof."
A sinkhole is formed when the roof of a cave collapses.
When rock above a cave collapses, a sinkhole is formed.
Stalactites form at the roof of the cave. These are mineral deposits that hang from the ceiling and are typically made of calcium carbonate. They form as water containing dissolved minerals drips from the roof and the minerals gradually accumulate over time, creating the elongated formations known as stalactites.
It depends on where the cave was...
Stalactite
No, a stalagmite forms on the cave floor when mineral-rich water drips and deposits sediment, creating a mound-like structure. On the other hand, a stalactite hangs from the cave's ceiling as mineral deposits accumulate and form a tapering, icicle-like shape.
A cavern roof is the uppermost part of a cave that forms the ceiling of the underground chamber. It is typically formed by the natural processes of erosion, weathering, and water seepage over time. Cavern roofs can vary in appearance and structure depending on the type of rock or material they are composed of.
The Palatine bone forms the posterior roof of the mouth.
