What will form when a stalactite and stalagmite joined?
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.
What do you call Stalagmite and Stalactite when they touch each other?

When a stalactite and a stalagmite joined what is formed?
When a stalactite and a stalagmite meet and eventually connect, they form a column or pillar. This occurs through the continuous dripping of mineral-rich water from the stalactite onto the stalagmite below, resulting in the build-up of minerals and the eventual formation of a column.
Can a stalactites grow without a stalagmite below it and how?
Yes, a stalactite can grow without a corresponding stalagmite below it. If there is a river flowing under the water seeping through the rock, the stalactite will grow while the river will sweep away the mineral rich water.
