Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed by mineral-rich water dripping down, while stalagmites grow up from the floor of caves from the mineral deposits left behind by dripping water. Stalactites have a tapering icicle-like shape, while stalagmites are more mound-like and grow upward.
