It's a stalactite that hangs from the ceiling.
What one hangs from the ceiling a stalagmite or a stalactite?
stalagmites are on the ground, stalactites are on the ceiling.( there was a rhyme for it but I forgot) :) +++ Try "c for ceiling, g for ground". I think the rhyme you mean is something like, "Stalagmites might reach the roof, stalactites hang on tight"!
What is the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite?
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).
What is the difference between a stalacite and a stalagmite?
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.

What A cone shaped deposit that rises from the floor of a cave is know as a?

What is a cone-shaped deposit that rises from floor of a cave?
It is called a stalaGMite. StalaCTites hang from the top. Memory key: the C in stalactite means Ceiling - and G in stalagmite means ground.
Does a stalagemite hang from the roof of the cave?
No, a stalagmite forms on the cave floor when mineral-rich water drips and deposits sediment, creating a mound-like structure. On the other hand, a stalactite hangs from the cave's ceiling as mineral deposits accumulate and form a tapering, icicle-like shape.
Which cave formation points up from the bottom of the cave?
Stalagmite. The opposite, growing down from the roof, is a stalactite. (G for ground, C for ceiling!)
What do you call the pointed projection that can form on the floor of a limestone cave?
Stalagmite. The opposite, growing downwards from the roof, is a "stalactite".
