Want this question answered?
the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate. The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. If these formations grow together, the result is known as a column. is what happens but I think the process is called Dissolution
The simpler answer is Chemical, but the crystallising of the calcite is a Physical process..
In most caves this process is the dissolution of calcium carbonate.

it is physical
It is a physical change.
Weathering
it is formed by the droplets falling from the stalactites in the ceiling of the cave.
yes,it occurs

Weathering
weathering occurs faster in warm and rainy climate. the rate of which soil forms depends on the climate and type of rock. so soil formation is faster when weathering is quicker too.
