Speleothems, such as stalactites and stalagmites, typically grow at a rate of 0.1 to 10 millimeters per year, depending on factors like the mineral content of the water, temperature, and humidity within the cave environment. In some optimal conditions, particularly with high calcium carbonate saturation, growth rates can exceed this average and reach up to several centimeters in a year. However, growth rates are highly variable and can be influenced by seasonal changes and water flow dynamics.

What type of speleothems is solid and which is hollow?
Solid speleothems include stalactites and stalagmites, formed from mineral deposits in caves. Hollow speleothems are typically soda straws or helictites, which have hollow tubes through which water flows to deposit minerals.
What are the 2 types of speleothems and which is hollow?
The two main types of speleothems are stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed by mineral deposits from dripping water, making them hollow tubes. In contrast, stalagmites grow upward from the cave floor as minerals accumulate from dripping water, and they are typically solid.

Are speleothems mechanical or chemical weathering?
Speleothems are formed as a result of chemical weathering processes. Groundwater percolating through limestone or other soluble rocks dissolves minerals, and when the water reaches the cave, these minerals are deposited as speleothems such as stalactites and stalagmites through precipitation.
