Which formation in a cave rise from the floor stalagmites or stalactites?
stalagmites are on the cave floor, stalactites are on the cave roof. stalagmites are mighty like Hercules, they hold the ceiling up. +++ An easy mnemonic: "c for ceiling, g for ground". Another is "Stalagmites might reach the roof [and sometimes do, forming a 'column'] and stalactites hang on tight."
Is this statement correct Stalagmites form on the ceiling of a cavern?
No, it is stalactites that form on the ceilings. Stalagmites form on the cavern floors.
Where do stalactites and stalagmites form in caves?
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalagmites grow up from the floor of caves as the same mineral-rich water drips down. Over time, these formations can meet and grow together to create intricate cave structures.
What do stalactites and stalagmites join to form?
Stalactites and stalagmites join to form columns. These columns are created when a stalactite hanging from the ceiling of a cave and a stalagmite growing from the floor eventually meet and fuse together.
What formations form in pillars on the floor of a cavern?
Stalagmites
How are stalagtites and stalagmites formed?
iec that comes from the roof
Does a stalagmite hang from the roof of a cave?
yes,Stalagmites do hang from the roof . Stalagtites come up from the ground.:)
In geography what are stalagmites?
In areas where the rocks are made of limestone, water will dissolve the limestone and form underground caves. In these caves water containing dissolved limestone will drip from the roof. As the drips form some of the water evaporates and limestone is deposited out of solution. Thus, from where the drips are occurring and on the floor below, pilers start to form, the pilers on the floor are called 'stalagmites' and the pilers hanging from the roof are called 'stalactites'.

What deposit is formed at a roof of a cave?
Stalactites are found hanging from the roof of a cave, as opposed to stalagmites, which grow up from the floor. Remembering the difference is easy - stalactites are "tite" to the ceiling!
Why do stalagmites sometimes form without a opposite stalactite?
I'm not sure if anyone can give a definitive answer but the rate at which the feed water leaves the roof may be a factor.
Where do stalactites and stalagmites form in caves?
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalagmites grow up from the floor of caves as the same mineral-rich water drips down. Over time, these formations can meet and grow together to create intricate cave structures.
What causes icicles to form in a cavern?
Caverns that form in limestone areas, due to rain water dissolving the limestone over millions of years, produce stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites are icicle-like rock formations of deposited limestone hanging down from the cavern's roof. Stalagmites grow upwards from the cavern floor, due to the limestone solution dripping on the floor from the roof. In some cases, the stalactite and stalagmite joins in the middle to form a column.
What is stulactite?
Stalactites are found in limestone caves. They are the limestone formations hanging from the roof. Limestone is calcium carbonate salts. Stalagmites are the formations growing up to the roof. (One way to remember: Stalactites have to hold on tight or they will fall and stalagmites might reach the roof one day.)
What compounds form stalactites and stalagmites and stalagmites?
Calcium Carbonate
Do stalagmites form on the ceiling of a cavarn?
No, they form on the ground. Stalactites form on the ceiling.
