The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
No, it is stalactites that form on the ceilings. Stalagmites form on the cavern floors.
Stalagmites can be classified into several types based on their shape and formation process. Common types include columnar stalagmites, which grow upward in a cylindrical form; conical stalagmites, which have a cone-like shape; and draped or flowstone stalagmites, characterized by their sheet-like appearance formed from mineral-rich water flowing over the surface. Additionally, some stalagmites may exhibit unique features such as helictites, which grow in unusual directions due to capillary action.
No, rocks cannot grow like stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites and stalagmites are formed from minerals that are deposited from water dripping in caves over thousands of years, while rocks are solid masses that do not exhibit the same type of growth.
Stalagmites grow from the floor, stalagtites hang from the ceiling. I remember this by thinking stalagmites "might reach the ceiling" and stalactites are "tightly held"
Stalagmites grow up.
Stalagmites are a physical change.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

Calcium Carbonate

I saw stalagmites they were ugly but then i saw you and i rather liked the stalagmites
Think of the letter 'g' in stalagmites, as from the ground up.

Cacite is a mineral (crystalline calcium carbonate). Stalagmites and stalactites are deposits of calcite.
