GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

CUEVA {kway-va} / GROTTE {grot} = “CAVE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about Caves but specifically what you might encounter in a cave and that is the Stalagmite, Stalactite and Stalagnate.

We have had post previously on our blog about caves and today’s post is focusing on a few interesting facts on some of the formations you might see in caves.

When you see the “spikes” hanging from the ceiling and sticking up from the ground you are looking at Stalagmites (from the ground up towards the ceiling, Stalactites (from the ceiling towards the ground) and sometimes Stalagmites and Stalactites join together from top to bottom and form a column known as a Stalagnate (which I just learned that word today).

Both Stalagmites and Stalactites are made in the same way.

Limestone caves have water than enters into the cave through the porous limestone (porous means that it is not “waterproof” and water will leak into the small holes “pores” that are naturally found in limestone (in addition to any cracks in the cave that may let water in that drips to the ground).

After the water drains enough to make a droplet the water drop falls containing a tiny amount of some of the minerals it passed through along the way to forming the waterdrop and lands on the ground. The water evaporates and what is left behind is the tiny bits of minerals that were contained in the water droplet. This drip by drip process leaves behind more and more minerals that begin to accumulate into a pile.

The pile contains calcite (calcium carbonate) as a result of what is left behind from the evaporated “cave water” drop (water that contained minerals during its way into the cave).

Some caves contain formations over 100,000 years old. The process to create something that would reach from the ground to the ceiling or ceiling to ground is a process that is hundreds and thousands of years to be big enough to begin taking the shape of the “spike”. It can take up to 100 years for just 1 centimeter of growth!

The same is true for Stalactites hanging from the “ceiling”. Drip by drip what is left behind is not the splash on the ground eventually stacking what is left behind after the waterdrop evaporates instead a water drop leaving behind mineral deposits on the “ceiling” to form into a Stalactite.

When Stalactites and Stalagmites join together they go from two spikes joining to eventually form a column.

When it is a column (Stalagnate) the column does not grow from drip process anymore because nothing would be able to drip down the middle of the solid column. The water instead flows down alongside the column. Each time drops run down the sides instead of growing the formation in length (vertical growth) the column grows in width drop by drop constantly extending the thickness of the column.

I have seen these cave formations before and I will see them again one day (that is the plan anyway). Maybe you will want to join the cave adventure too?

I LOVE YOU❕

THIS DAY IN HISTORY FEBRUARY 10 1840:
Queen Alexandrina Victoria and Prince Franz August Karl Albert Emanuel were wed and for the ceremony Queen Victoria wore a white dress that is often still today the choice for brides (in the United States of America). If you were ever wondering why it is common for the bride to be in white this is one of the reasons among others.
