Sea water

Snow

Groundwater

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There are various agents which are mainly responsible for the formation of stalagmite as well as stalactite.

On the cave floor or in a pile, usually more calcite are left by the water from the end of the stalactite.

And this usually results in the formation of stalagmite.

So, stalagmite is very similar to a cone shape.

But sometimes a column or pillar is formed by them.

The main characteristics of these two things is that they usually are found in pairs.

Answer 2

Although they look lifelike and a little creepy, stalactites and stalagmites grow simply because of water running over and through inorganic material. Ca (HCO3)2 is known as calcium bicarbonate, and the water carries the substance, basically dissolved calcite, through the cracks of the roof of a cave.
