Both are calcite (crystalline calcium carbonate) formations in caves. . Stalactites grown down from the cave roof: "C" for ceiling, and it hangs on tight! . Stalagmites grow up from the floor' "G" for ground, and it might reach the ceiling - or the stalactite growing down towards it, and when they fuse the result is a Column.
One grows up from the cave floor, the other hangs down from the cave roof. To remember which is which:-A "stalagmite" might reach the the top (grows up from the cave floor).A "stalactite" has to hang on "tight" (hangs down from the cave roof).+++Another one is "G for Ground, C for Ceiling". Their location is the only difference; they are both formations of precipitated calcite (calcium carbonate).
stalagmites are on the ground, stalactites are on the ceiling.( there was a rhyme for it but I forgot) :) +++ Try "c for ceiling, g for ground". I think the rhyme you mean is something like, "Stalagmites might reach the roof, stalactites hang on tight"!
stalagmites are on the cave floor, stalactites are on the cave roof. stalagmites are mighty like Hercules, they hold the ceiling up. +++ An easy mnemonic: "c for ceiling, g for ground". Another is "Stalagmites might reach the roof [and sometimes do, forming a 'column'] and stalactites hang on tight."
'Tites grow downwards (hang on tightly), 'mites grow upwards (might reach the roof). Or C for ceiling, G for ground.
