Stalactites. Stalagmites are on the ground.
Stalag"tights" = they stick tight to the ceiling.
Stalag"mights"= you might trip over them.
A stalactite is a structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cave and is formed by minerals dripping down, while a stalagmite is a structure that rises from the floor of a cave and is formed by minerals deposited from drips falling from the stalactite. When a stalactite and a stalagmite eventually meet and grow together, they form a column.
stalactite
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave. These mineral formations are created by dripping water depositing minerals over time, gradually forming icicle-like structures that hang from the cave roof.
Stalactites hang from the roof of caves. Stalactites are mineral deposits that form over thousands of years as water drips down and leaves behind calcite. These formations can vary in size and shape, creating unique and beautiful features inside caves.
A stalactite is a structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cave and is formed by the precipitation of minerals from dripping water.
A stalactite hangs from the ceiling of a cave, formed by mineral deposits dripping down over time. On the other hand, a stalagmite grows from the floor of a cave, formed by mineral deposits building up from the ground.
Stalactites.
stalagtite
A stalactite is made of mineral deposits, typically calcium carbonate, that accumulate as water drips from the ceiling of a cave. Over time, these deposits form a cone-shaped structure that hangs down from the cave ceiling.
Cone shaped deposits that rise from the floor of a cave are called Stalagmites. This is easy to remember as it contains a letter 'G' as does ground. While a Stalactite, which hangs down from a cave ceiling, contains a letter 'C.'
She hangs herself inside the cave on the final stage of the play.
It's a stalactite that hangs from the ceiling.
What do you call when something hangs or sinks down low?
A calcite stalactite.
One grows up from the cave floor, the other hangs down from the cave roof. To remember which is which:-A "stalagmite" might reach the the top (grows up from the cave floor).A "stalactite" has to hang on "tight" (hangs down from the cave roof).+++Another one is "G for Ground, C for Ceiling". Their location is the only difference; they are both formations of precipitated calcite (calcium carbonate).
Both are calcite (crystalline calcium carbonate) formations in caves. . Stalactites grown down from the cave roof: "C" for ceiling, and it hangs on tight! . Stalagmites grow up from the floor' "G" for ground, and it might reach the ceiling - or the stalactite growing down towards it, and when they fuse the result is a Column.
