It is a well known fact that stalactite and stalagmite formation can be observed with key differences.

It is an icicle shaped structure that hangs from the ceiling of the cave.

Both are related to the mineral formation in caves.

Stalagmite is regarded as the deposition of the mounds of rocks over a period of time.

For instance flow stones are deposited due to the deposition of the rocks by the strong gush of water in an impeccable manner.
