Stalactites were not discovered by any single individual. They have formed in caves over thousands of years due to the slow dripping of mineral-rich water. The first documented observations of stalactites are believed to date back to ancient civilizations who explored caves for shelter and resources.
Stalactites grow downwards
Stalactites made of calcite are relatively soft, while those made of aragonite are harder. However, the hardest mineral commonly found in stalactites is quartz, which can form as chalcedony stalactites in caves.
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
Nobody will ever know because early ancestors discovered them and nobody lived that long to tell +++ Not long ago, archaeologists investigating a small stone circle made from stalagmites in a cave in Southern France, dated the site as Neanderthal .
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.
Stalactites are often found in caves.
Stalactites grow downwards
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

No because there are stalactites and stalagmites they are not the same thing
Which sedimentation process forms stalactites
Stalactites made of calcite are relatively soft, while those made of aragonite are harder. However, the hardest mineral commonly found in stalactites is quartz, which can form as chalcedony stalactites in caves.
you find a stalactites in the east side of the cave.
Kuwait doesn't have caves as big to have stalactites and stalagmite
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
Caves, on the ceiling.one way to remember is that. stalactites have to hang on tight to the ceiling!
