True or false Stalactites attach to the top of a cavern ceiling and hang down?
True. Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of a cavern or cave, formed by dripping water containing minerals that slowly build up over time.
Is it true that Stalactites attach to the top of a cavern ceiling and hang down?
Yes, stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceilings of caves or caverns. They are created by mineral-rich water dripping from above and leaving deposits that build up over time. Stalactites are formed through a slow process, and their growth rate can vary depending on factors such as the mineral content of the water and the stability of the cave environment.
Do stalactites rise from the floor or hang from the ceiling in the limestone caves?
Down from ceiling
Do stalactites rise from the floor or from the celling of limestone caves?
Stalactites come down from the ceiling. A good way to remember is to think that to come down from the ceiling, they have to hang on 'tite'.
Stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern floor due to the deposit of minerals over time?
Yes, stalactites are formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water from the ceiling of a cave. As the water drips down, it leaves behind small amounts of minerals that accumulate and harden over time. This gradual accumulation forms the distinctive icicle-shaped stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling.

What is the dripstone that grows down from the roof of a cavern?
The dripstone that grows down from the roof of a cavern is called a stalactite. Stalactites are formed by mineral-rich water dripping, leaving behind deposits of minerals such as calcite. Over time, these deposits build up and create elongated structures hanging from the cave ceiling.
Do Stalactites grow up from the bottom of a cavern floor due to the deposit of minerals over time?
No, stalactites grow from the ceiling of a cavern due to mineral-rich water dripping down and leaving behind deposits that accumulate over time. Stalagmites, on the other hand, grow up from the cave floor as mineral deposits build up from dripping water.
Which slender conical speleothem grows from water dripping from the ceiling of cavern?
The slender conical speleothem that grows from water dripping from the ceiling of a cavern is called a stalactite. These formations occur when mineral-rich water drips from the cave ceiling, leaving behind mineral deposits as the water evaporates. Over time, these deposits accumulate, creating the characteristic elongated shape of stalactites. They often hang down from the cave ceiling, resembling icicles.
Where do stalactites grow the top or bottom of a cave?
Stalactites grow from the ceiling of a cave when mineral-rich water drips down and deposits minerals on the cave ceiling.
What is the opposite of stalagmites?
The opposite would be stalactites, which form from the ceiling down, while stalagmites form from the floor up. (The venerable mnemonic is that stalactites hold tite/tight to the ceiling.)
Is there a rhyme to remember stalactites and stalagmites?
Yes! "Stalactites hold tight to the ceiling, while stalagmites might reach the ceiling." This rhyme can help you remember which formations grow up from the ground and which ones hang down from the ceiling of a cave.
When crystals grow down from the ceiling of the cave what do we call them?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up from the ground. A good way to remember is the ''c'' for ceilingin stalactite and the ''g'' for ground in stalagmite.
