Which formation in a cave rise from the floor stalagmites or stalactites?
stalagmites are on the cave floor, stalactites are on the cave roof. stalagmites are mighty like Hercules, they hold the ceiling up. +++ An easy mnemonic: "c for ceiling, g for ground". Another is "Stalagmites might reach the roof [and sometimes do, forming a 'column'] and stalactites hang on tight."
How does the formation of stalagmites and stalactites in caves are relate to equilibrium?
H20 + CO2 + CaCO3 = Ca (HCO3)2
Formation of stalagmites in a cave?
Stalagmites are formed when the stalagtite above it drips small amounts of liquid onto it and it slowly hardens and keeps forming upward. It takes about 100 years for a stalagmite to grow 1 inch.
Which way do stalagmites grow?
Stalagmites grow up.
What do stalactites and stalagmites join to form?
When stalactites and stalagmites join it is called a column
Is formation of stalagmites in a cave a physical or chemical change?
it is physical
Is the formation of stalagmites a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change.
Do the formation of stalactites and stalagmites occurs in the zone of saturation?
yes,it occurs
The formation of stalactites and stalagmites occurs in the zone of saturation?
yes,it occurs
What part of a cave rises up from the ground?
The formation in a cave that rises from the floor are called stalagmites
Is the formation of stalagmites in a cave a physical change?
it probably going to be a physical change because when the stalagmites form in the cave its still going to be a cave and nothing really is going to change the cave.

Where is the precipitate calcite commonly found to create interesting formation in the ground?
Stalactites and stalagmites in caves.caves
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..
How is stalactites and stalagmites different?
Stalactites point down from the ceiling, and stalagmites point upwards from the floor. A way to remember this is that stalactites hold tight onto the roof and stalagmites might reach the rook one day. The rock formation that goes from ceiling to floor is called a column.
Is the formation of stalagmites in a cave a physical or a chemical change?
physical because doesn't matter if it forms its still a cave
