No because there are stalactites and stalagmites they are not the same thing
Which sedimentation process forms stalactites
Stalactites made of calcite are relatively soft, while those made of aragonite are harder. However, the hardest mineral commonly found in stalactites is quartz, which can form as chalcedony stalactites in caves.
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.
you find a stalactites in the east side of the cave.
Kuwait doesn't have caves as big to have stalactites and stalagmite
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
Caves, on the ceiling.one way to remember is that. stalactites have to hang on tight to the ceiling!
