The most familiar speleothems (from the Greek word spelaion for the cave and thema fordeposit), the decorative dripstone features found in caves, are stalactites and stalagmites.Stalactites hang downward from the ceiling of the cave and are formed as drop after drop ofwater slowly trickles through crack on the cave roof. Stalagmites grow upward from the floorof the cave, generally as a result of water dripping from an overhead stalactite. A column forms
when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow until they join. A “curtain” or “drapery” begins to form on an inclined ceiling when drops of water trickle along a slope. Natural openings on the surface that lead to caves are called sinkholes. or swallow holes. Streams sometimes disappear down these holes and flow through the cavern. Rivers may flowfrom one mountain to another through a series of caves. Some caverns have sinkholes in theirfloors. Water often builds up a rim of dripstone around the edge of the hole. Dripping wateroften contains dissolved minerals as well as acid. These minerals too will be deposited; andthey may give rich coloring to the deposits. If minerals in the water change, layers of differentcolors may be formed.
