Actually they are of the same composition.
Stalactites and stalagmites are deposits in limestone caverns, formed by the evaporation of waters bearing calcium carbonate.
Stalactites grow down from the roofs of caves and tend to be long and thin, with hollow cores. The water moves down the core and precipitates at the bottom, slowly extending the length while keeping the core open for more water to move down.
Stalagmites grow from the floor up and are commonly found beneath stalactites; they are formed from the evaporation of the same drip of water that forms the stalactite. Stalagmites are thicker and shorter than stalactites and have no central hollow core.

What is it called where a stalactite and stalagmite meet?
When a stalactite and stalagmite meet, they form a column or pillar.
What will form when a stalactite and stalagmite joined?
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.

When a stalactite and a stalagmite joined what is formed?
When a stalactite and a stalagmite meet and eventually connect, they form a column or pillar. This occurs through the continuous dripping of mineral-rich water from the stalactite onto the stalagmite below, resulting in the build-up of minerals and the eventual formation of a column.
When a stalactite and a stalagmite grow together it is called?
a column
Are Stalagmite and Stalactite Igneous Rock?
no its not it is sedimentary rock
What is stalagtites?
Stalagmite: A Stalagmite is a rock formation that has been formed by the dripping of water from the ceiling of a cavern for thousands of million of years creating a pointed rock, thick at the base and thinner at the top. Stalagmites are on the floors of caves. Stalactite: A stalactite forms the same way as a stalagmite except that it is attached to the ceiling instead of the ground
What is the technical name for the joining of a stalactite and stalagmite?
The joining of a stalactite and stalagmite is called a column. It forms when the two mineral deposits meet and grow together over time in a cave.
