Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Group of answer choices
hydrochloric acid
sodium bicarbonate
calcium carbonate
sodium chloride
sodium hydroxide
Answer:
calcium carbonate
Explanation:
A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.
A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.
Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Answer:
True
Explanation:
The El Nino/Southern Oscillation occurs in between the three phases Neutral, La Nina or El Nino.
The humboldt current takes cold water to South America's west coast to the tropics from the Southern Ocean. Because of the welling which takes place in Peru this process is enhanced. Due to the trade winds near the equator the cold water travels west where it heats up due to the sun. This makes the water of the western Pacific warmer.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the mass of gold. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the density of gold. Heat is an example of an extensive property, and temperature is an example of an intensive property.
