What direction would the stalactites and stalagmites be in?
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
Do stalactites rise from floor or hang from ceiling of limestone caves?
hang from the ceiling
From which part of the cave do stalactites grow?
They grow from the roof of the cave, downward.
Do stalactites grow toward the cave ceiling?
Yes, stalactites do grow toward the cave ceiling. Stalactites form when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling of a cave and leaves behind deposits of minerals over time. As each droplet of water evaporates, it leaves behind a small amount of mineral deposit, causing the stalactite to gradually grow downward from the ceiling.
What formations hang from the ceiling of a cavern like icicles?
Stalactites hang from the ceiling. Stalagmites build upwards from the floor. I found an easy way to remember which is which.. that stalactites "cling tight (-tite)" to the ceiling.

Where are Stalactites found in?
Caves, on the ceiling.one way to remember is that. stalactites have to hang on tight to the ceiling!

What are stone formations that usually hang from the rooofs of limestone caves?
Stalactites - comprised of the mineral calcite, and although not all limestone caves contain stalactites, these formations always hang from the roofs otherwise they would not be stalactites!

hang from the ceiling

What hangs downward in the cave in Mammoth Cave National Park?
Stalactites.
What hints could you tell how stalactites has formed?
Stlactites are the conical deposits that form at the roof of the cave and hang downward so when you see the mineral deposits on the ceiling forming there is your hint a stalactite is forming
