How does a dripstone column form?
A dripstone column forms when mineral-rich water drips from a cave ceiling and accumulates on the cave floor, creating a stalagmite. Over time, as more dripping water flows down the stalactite and onto the stalagmite, they join together to form a column.
Is stalagmite processed by weathering erosion or deposition?
Stalagmites are formed by deposition, specifically of minerals like calcite that precipitate out of water dripping from the ceiling of a cave. Weathering and erosion may contribute to the breakdown of rock formations in caves, but the actual formation of stalagmites is a result of deposition.
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.
Describe how the stalactite and stalagmite is weathered by rainwater?
Since the caves in which stalactite and stalagmite are in are made of limestone, and we know that limestone is a sedimentary rock, and rainwater dissolves minerals in the limestone so now we have mineralized water. The water drips from the top of caves in the same spot for years and years. The water evaporates and leaves minerals and minerals keep piling making stalactite and stalagmite, that is just one way. If anyone has a better answer please say it. :D all regards

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 happens when you touch a stalagmite?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! When you touch a stalagmite, you might leave behind oils and dirt from your fingers. Over time, this can disrupt the natural development of the stalagmite, so it's best to admire them from a distance and let them continue growing peacefully. Just like painting, sometimes it's best to appreciate nature's beauty without touching it.
