#Dlium #DliumVlog #DliumVlogGeology Caves and underground rivers are common in karst areas. Stalactites, stalagmites, and columns are rock formations within caves formed from mineral deposits, primarily calcium carbonate, caused by the dripping of mineral-rich water over thousands of years.
A stalactite is a limestone bar found on the ceiling of a cave with a pointed tip that grows downward. A hollow-centered deposit of calcite or aragonite hangs from the cave ceiling. It forms by carbonate precipitation due to the release of CO2 and the evaporation of some of the water.
A stalagmite is a limestone bar that grows upward from the cave floor. It is a cone-shaped limestone structure standing upright on the cave floor. Cone-shaped mineral deposits, usually calcite or aragonite, on the cave floor form from the dripping of mineral-rich water. It forms by carbonate precipitation due to the release of CO2 from water dripping from the cave ceiling.
A column is a subsurface drip-like rock formation produced by the union of a stalactite and a stalagmite in a cave. It forms when a stalactite and a stalagmite fuse together to form a column or pillar.
