Explanation:
a shallow usually funnel-shaped depression of the ground surface formed by solution in limestone regions is known as doline.
rock deposited by precipitation from dripping water, such as that which forms stalactites and stalagmites is known as dirpstone.
Dolines are formed by two main methods: the slow solutional removal of rock from the surface downward (solution doline), or by the collapse of overlying rock or overlying material into an underground cave or chamber (collapse doline).
Calcium carbonate rock deposited in caves by the precipitation of calcite from water as excess dissolved carbon dioxide is diffused into the atmosphere. Dripstone takes various forms, including stalactites, helictites (having spiral form), curtains, ribbons, and stalagmites.
