What is the difference between stalacmites and stalatites?

Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed by mineral-rich water dripping down, while stalagmites grow up from the floor of caves from the mineral deposits left behind by dripping water. Stalactites have a tapering icicle-like shape, while stalagmites are more mound-like and grow upward.


How does a rain storm form?

A rain storm forms when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense into clouds. As the clouds grow, precipitation forms and falls to the ground as rain. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure all play a role in the formation of a rain storm.


Is stalactite a deposit of calcite on a cave floor?

No, a stalactite is a mineral formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. It is made of minerals such as calcite, but it forms on the ceiling, not the floor.


How does the formation of a tornado occur?

A tornado forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability in the atmosphere. This causes the air to rotate and form a spinning column of air. If the conditions are right, the spinning column can grow into a tornado, with strong winds and a funnel-shaped cloud.


What is the best explanation for the formation of precipitation?

Precipitation forms when water droplets or ice crystals in clouds grow large enough to overcome air resistance and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This growth can occur through processes like collision and coalescence, where droplets combine, or through ice crystal formation in clouds with temperatures below freezing. Different atmospheric conditions lead to various types of precipitation.

Which type of relationship exists when a certain type of trees roots need a fungus is present in order to grow normally?

Mycorrizal fungi grow on the roots of plants. It forms a symbiotic relationship with plant. This means that both get a benefit from the relationship. The fungi get carbohydrates and other food while they increase the surface area for the roots to absorb more water and minerals.

What type of stones grow in Africa?

Stones normally don't grow :) Although I can think of 3: Stalagmite's and Stalactite's both of which are normally found in cave systems where there is a high amount of dissolved minerals - like calcium The other is the "Desert Rose" - "a rosette formation of gypsum and barite with sand inclusions", these are normally formed in arid areas such as deserts and salt pans.

Can seeds grow in rocks?

Yes, it is possible for plants to grow in a patch of stones where weeds grow. That is the notion behind alpine plants in rugged terrain and rock gardening with hardy and native plants. Alpine and rock garden plants grow around, over and under stones with such adaptability and tenacity that they grow in their native ranges and, with the meeting of special growing demands, outside their homelands.

What is the Dung Beatle and Dung symbiotic relationship?

What is the symbiotic relationship of powdery mildew?

It is a parasitic symbiotic relationship. Mildews use 'haustoria' (specialised hyphal structures) which grow into the cells of plants and siphon off nutrients and sugars to the fungal thallus.


Are there bananas with stones in them?

What are plant like organisms that grow on rocks and produce weak acids that chemicaly weathers rocks?

Lichens are plant-like organisms that grow on rocks and produce weak acids that chemically weather rocks. They are a symbiotic relationship between algae or cyanobacteria and fungi, and their ability to break down rocks contributes to soil formation over time.


Do stones grow?

No, stones do not grow. They are formed through geological processes such as the cooling and solidification of molten rock or the accumulation and compression of mineral particles over time. Once formed, stones do not naturally increase in size like living organisms do.
