What is Inspissated deposit in petroleum geology?

Inspissated deposit : was probably once a pool in liquid and gaseous form, and now consist of only the more resistant and heavier residues, the lighter fractions having been lost. Therefore, it may be thought of as a fossil oil field. As erosion gradually removes the overburden and brings the surface closer to the petroleum pool, the pressure on the fluids in the rocks is reduced. The lowering of pressure causes the gases and lighter oil fractions to come out of solution and expand, leaving the heavier hydrocarbon fractions to come out of solution and expand, leaving the heavier hydrocarbon fractions behind. As the zone of weathering approaches the pool, the opening of incipient fractures allows the gases to escape more readily. Oxidizing agencies probably aid in solidifying the heavier oils that remain behind. Such a deposit, typical of many in California and Utah,

Stalagmites are formed from?

Stalagmites, which are found in caves, are cone-shaped formations of calcium deposits made by calcium concentrated water dripping through the cave ceiling and onto the floor of the cave. Once the water evaporates, solid calcium is left behind thus forming a stalagmite. These deposits form like an icicle hanging from the cave roof.However not to be confused with a stalactite (which is a cone-shaped calcium deposit hanging from the ceiling of a cave), stalagmites are cone-shaped icicle formations of calcium deposits that build upward from the cave floor.

How are stalactits formed?

Stalactites are formed through calcium carbonate deposits made by mineral rich water dripping through the ceiling and onto the floor of the cave. The water evaporates, leaving the calcium carbonate behind. These deposits form a stalactite, like an icicle hanging from the cave roof. Don't mix Stalactites and Stalagmites up, Stalactites are on the Ceiling (C in stalactites) and Stalagmites are on the ground (G in stalagmites).Remember this way: The Mites go up, and the Tites go down.
