What formation occurs when the two formations growing from the ceiling and the floor of the cave meet?

Formations that grow downward from the top of a cave are called stalactites. Stalactites may be composed of amberat, lava, minerals, mud, peat, pitch, and sand. Formations that grow from the floor upwards are called stalagmites.
(You can remember the difference by thinking of the phrase "ants in your pants". The mites go up and the tights come down.)

∙ 12y agoThat'd be the stalagmite, and the ones that hang from the roof are called stalagtites. I don't think these answers I KNOW them, so feel free to trust in them.//// The first one is correct the second one is stalactites. An easy way to remember the difference is that G is from the Ground,and C is from the Ceiling.

Use word in a sentence stalactite and stalagmite?
The cavern was filled with stalactites & stalagmites.From Wikipedia:"A stalagmite is a type of speleothem that rises from the floor of a limestone cave due to the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate. This stalagmite formation occurs only under certain pH conditions within the underground cavern. The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. If these formations grow together, the result is known as a column."

Where do stalactites came from?
Caves are damp places, so when a drip of water forms on the ceiling, and does not fall, eventually, it sort of fossilizes. As more drips form, over millions of years, the stalactite lengthens. The fossilization occurs because the water in caves is rich with minerals.(A way to remember the names of the formations is StalaCtites come from the Ceiling, and StalaGmites are on the Ground)
