Stalactite.

<u>Stalactite:</u>

  • Often, stalagmites develop up from the cave floor, whereas stalagmites typically grow down from the cave roof.
  • It's simple to distinguish between the two since stalagmites have a "G" for ground and stalactites have a "T" for top.
  • Typically made of calcium carbonate, stalagmites can also be made of lava, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter, and amber.
  • A single drop of water rich in minerals is the origin of all limestone stalactites.
  • The smallest ring of calcite is left behind by the falling water drop.
  • Another calcite ring is left behind with each new drop of water that develops and drops.
