Caves, on the ceiling.one way to remember is that. stalactites have to hang on tight to the ceiling!
In a Cave
Stalactites made of calcite are relatively soft, while those made of aragonite are harder. However, the hardest mineral commonly found in stalactites is quartz, which can form as chalcedony stalactites in caves.
on the celling of caves like iceicles.
Stalactites are primarily made of calcite, a mineral form of calcium carbonate. Other minerals commonly found in stalactites include aragonite and gypsum. These minerals are deposited on cave ceilings by dripping water, creating the elongated formations we know as stalactites.
Stalagmites and stalactites are mineral formations found in caves around the world. They are created by mineral-rich water dripping from the ceiling to the floor (stalactites) or by water dripping and depositing minerals on the floor (stalagmites), eventually forming the characteristic pointy structures.
The formations are called stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites are found on the ceiling of caves and are made by the dripping of water enriched with calcium, from the cracks in the ceiling. when the calcium precipitates from the water it leaves calcium and the water drops down to start the formation of stalagmites that are created in the same process but are created by the water dripping off of stalactites. :) hope this helped
