What is the icicle-shaped rock formation on a cave ceiling?
stalactite.... the one that formed below it is called stalagmite...
What is a deposit of calcite on a cave floor?
It's referred to as a Stalagmite or Flowstone deposit.
A moraine is a cone shaped deposit of calcite that builds up on the floor of a cave?
False
How many chemical reactions are possible regarding the formation of carbonic acid and the dissolving of calcite?
Dissolving calcite (calcium carbonate) in acids leads to release of carbon dioxide gas.
Where is the precipitate calcite commonly found to create interesting formation in the ground?
Stalactites and stalagmites in caves.caves
Which cave formation is formed along the wall of the cave where water flows and calcite is deposited?
a stalagmite
Which cave formation is formed along the walls of the cave where water flows and calcite is deposited?
a stalagmite
What are cave pearls?
Cave pearls are a calcite formation found in caves that resemble pearls because they are white and round.
What is the formation of stalagmites?
it is formed by the droplets falling from the stalactites in the ceiling of the cave.
Formation in slanted cave ceiling that look like curtain?
Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of a cave like curtains. These formations are generally created by water dripping from the cave ceiling, leaving behind mineral deposits that build up over time. Stalactites can vary in size and shape, creating unique and beautiful features in cave formations.
Formation of stalagmites in a cave physical or chemical change?
The simpler answer is Chemical, but the crystallising of the calcite is a Physical process..
What is a limestone that is dripped from the ceiling of a cave forming a peak or column?
The limestone formation that is dripped from the ceiling of a cave and forms a peak or column is called a stalactite. Stalactites are typically formed from the slow deposition of mineral-rich water, such as calcium carbonate, which drips down from the cave ceiling over time.
Which cave formation points up from the bottom of the cave?
Stalagmite. The opposite, growing down from the roof, is a stalactite. (G for ground, C for ceiling!)
Stalagmites grow from?
Cave floors, by the precipitation of calcite dissolved in ground-water passing through the limestone's joints above the formation.
What is the icicle-shaped rock formation on a cave ceiling?
stalactite.... the one that formed below it is called stalagmite...
What is a stalctite?
A Stalactite is growth of precipitated calcite downwards from a cave roof below the joint through which its feed solution emerges. The corresponding floor formation is a Stalagmite.
What is a cave shield with a drapery hanging from it?
A cave shield forms as calcite-rich seep water under hydrostatic pressure is forced from tiny cracks in a cave wall, ceiling or occasionally, floor. As this seep water loses carbon dioxide to the cave air, calcite is deposited as parallel extensions to the cracked walls. The result: two thin, sandwiched disks separated only by a capillary, sheet-like void that feeds their growth.
