Which cave formation is formed along the walls of the cave where water flows and calcite is deposited?
Stalactites are cave formations that hang from the ceiling and are formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water containing calcite. Stalactites grow downwards over time as the calcite is deposited layer by layer.
What is the term for a cone shaped feature on the floor of a cave that is found by slow dripping water?
Stalagmite. Stalagmites are formed on the floor of a cave when water containing minerals drips down and leaves deposits that build up over time into a cone-shaped feature.
How does water and soil help the process of building stalagmites?
The growth rate of stalagamites depends upon the amount and rate of water entering the cave, the amount of acidity and minerals in the water and the temperature and humidity conditions in the cave.
What is a stalagnate?
There is no term "stalagnate" in geology or any other field. It may be a misspelling of "stalagmite," which is a mineral deposit that rises from the floor of a cave due to dripping water containing minerals such as calcium carbonate.
What is the difference between aquifer and cave?
An aquifer is an underground layer of rock or sediment that holds water and allows it to flow, while a cave is a natural underground chamber or series of chambers formed by the dissolution of rock. Aquifers serve as reservoirs for groundwater, while caves are typically used for recreation and exploration.
Which cave formation is formed along the walls of the cave where water flows and calcite is deposited?
Stalactites are cave formations that hang from the ceiling and are formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water containing calcite. Stalactites grow downwards over time as the calcite is deposited layer by layer.
What is the diffence between aquifer and cave?
A cave is a void (hole) in the ground. An aquifer is a region of water-permeable rock that holds groundwater; it may (or may not) contain caves.
If you are looking for a cenote in Mexico what do you want?
A cenote is a sinkhole in rock containing fresh ground water. It can be exposed or underground like a cave.
What is the meaning of stalagmites and stalaction?
Stalagmites are mineral deposits that grow upward from the floor of a cave, formed by dripping water containing dissolved minerals. Stalactites are formations that hang from the ceiling of a cave, formed by mineral deposits left behind as water drips from the ceiling.
What is a deposit of calcite on a cave floor?
A deposit of calcite on a cave floor is known as cave popcorn or cave coral. It forms when water containing dissolved calcium carbonate drips or seeps into a cave and then evaporates, leaving behind calcite deposits in the form of popcorn-like or coral-like formations.
What is the term for a cone shaped feature on the floor of a cave that is found by slow dripping water?
Stalagmite. Stalagmites are formed on the floor of a cave when water containing minerals drips down and leaves deposits that build up over time into a cone-shaped feature.
What is a under water cave?
A cave that is underwater..? It's a cave that lies underneath a body of water.
How are the curtains in caves formed?
Curtains are formed when water containing calcium carbonate drips slowly through the joints and bedding planes of the limestone and comes out through a long crack in the ceiling of the cave . The water evaporates, leaving the calcium carbonate behind .
How does water and soil help the process of building stalagmites?
The growth rate of stalagamites depends upon the amount and rate of water entering the cave, the amount of acidity and minerals in the water and the temperature and humidity conditions in the cave.
Can the same cave be made of different kind of rock at different layers?
Caves often are formed thru several formations of rock from various times in the geologic history of the cave. It is possible that a limestone sits on top of some other sedimentary rock like gypsum. The same cave will completely change character as it passes through to a different layer. Sometimes 2 good soluble layers are separated by a layer that is not soluble and the water doesn't easily make it thru the sandwiched layer.
