I'd guess stalagmites. Stalagmites are formed when water and acids are dripping from a stalactite...for a stalactite to form there must be years of oxidization, but I guess a stalagmite could be made at 4-5 years...

They probably grow at similar rates, at least by volume if not necessarily by length, and the rate is probably fairly specific to the individual site.

Add 00 to those figures. None have been found to grow in 4-5 years, though scientists studying deposits in one Italian caves were startled to find a glass bottle only a few decades old inside one stalagmite! That is exceptionally fast. Normally, these formations, which grow by precipitation of calcium carbonate, not by oxidation or dripping acids, take hundreds or thousands of years to grow.
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
stalagmites & stalactites are examples of a chemical sedimentary rock
When stalactites and stalagmites join it is called a column
yes but there are not called stalagmites and stalactites there are called speleothems
Stalactites and stalagmites are classified as precipitates, a type of chemical sedimentary rock. Yes, rocks can grow like stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

Stalactites and stalagmites are corresponding rock formations , stalactites being the ones on the roof of the cave and stalagmites the ones on the cave floor. Why are they formed? They are formed because water leaking into the caves craves out the rocks slowly into stalagmites and stalactites.
Stalactites have to hold on tight. Stalagmites might reach the roof.
No because there are stalactites and stalagmites they are not the same thing
