Stalactite and Stalagmite
Explanation:
- These features are found in caverns.
- As water drips from the roof of the caverns, evaporation leaves a small deposit of calcite behind.
- Gradually a cone shaped pillar of calcium carbonate hanging from the cavern roof develops.
- Such a deposit is called stalactite.
- Similar deposits also grow from the floor of the caverns where water drops .Such a pillar -like forms which grow upwards from the cavern floor,are called stalagmite.
- When stalactite and stalagmite meets, a column is formed.
