Coal is made up of what minerals?
no it is not a Mineral
Are all minerals made of silicon and oxygen?
No, they are not.
What mineral makes up stalactites and stalagmites?
Calcite
Is stalagmites and stalactites are made of hardened mud?
No, they are made from minerals leached out of the earth by water.
What type of deposit forms at the roof of the cave?
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.
Are the stalactites and stalagmites considered as living organism?
No. Stalactites and stalagmites are formed from minerals, brought down from the rocks above by water.
Do Stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern floor due to the deposit of minerals over time?
No, stalagmites grow from the ground up. Stalactites hang from the roofs of caves.
What are stalactites made of?
they are made of sedimentary rock
Stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern floor due to deposit of minerals over time?
False.
How do stalactites and stalagmites form?
Stalagmites form when water from the stalactite drips down water and that water has minerals in it
Stalactites grow up from bottom of a cavern floor due to the deposit of minerals over time?
False.
Stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern floor due to the deposit of minerals over time?
false
What rock formations hang in caves?
Stalactites and stalagmites are rock formations that hang in caves. Stalactites are formed from water dripping from the ceiling and gradually depositing minerals that build up over time. Stalagmites, on the other hand, form from water dripping from the stalactites and building up on the cave floor.
What is a major comound in deep cave stalactites?
Stalactites and stalagmites are normally made up from a mineral called Calcite.
Do stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern due to the deposit of minerals over time?
No those are stalagmites. stalactites grow from calcite (or mineral) deposits from water dripping from cracks from the ceiling. :) hope this helped
