- Stalactites form when water containing dissolved calcium bicarbonate from the limestone rock drips from the ceiling of a cave. As the water comes into contact with the air, some of the calcium bicarbonate precipitates back into limestone to form a tiny ring, which gradually elongates to form a stalactite. Stalagmites grow upwards from the drips that fall to the floor. They spread outwards more, so they have a wider, flatter shape than stalactites, but they gain mass at roughly the same rate. Limestone stalactites form extremely slowly – usually less than 10cm every thousand years – and radiometric dating has shown that some are over 190,000 years old.

- Stalagmite. Stalagmites are corresponding formations on the floor of caves to stalactites. Stalagmites rise from the floor in a build-up of calcium carbonate over time, from mineral-bearing water dropped from the roof of the cave.The term stalagmite comes from the Greek word, stalagma, to “drop”.talagmites are corresponding formations on the floor of caves to stalactites. Stalagmites rise from the floor in a build-up of calcium carbonate over time, from mineral-bearing water dropped from the roof of the cave.

What's the difference between stalactites and stalagmites? The water dripping from the end of a stalactite falls to the floor of a cave and deposits more calcite into a mound. Soon enough, a stalagmite will form in a conelike shape. This is why you usually find stalactites and stalagmites in pairs, and sometimes they'll even grow together to form one big column.

Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow from the cave floor. When discussing mineral formations in caves, we often talk about stalactites and stalagmites. A stalactite is an icicle-shaped formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, and is produced by precipitation of minerals from water dripping through the cave ceiling. Most stalactites have pointed tips. stalactite is an icicle-shaped formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, and is produced by precipitation of minerals from water dripping through the cave ceiling.

stalactite and stalagmite stalactite and stalagmite (stəlăg´mīt) , mineral forms often found in caves; sometimes collectively called dripstone. A stalactite is an icicle-shaped mass of calcite attached to the roof of a limestone cavern. Groundwater trickling through cracks in the roofs of such caverns contains dissolved calcium bicarbonate.

nystagmus Nystagmus can be classified depending upon the type of motion of the eyes. In pendular nystagmus the speed of motion of the eyes is the same in both directions. In jerk nystagmus there is a slow and fast phase. The eyes move slowly in one direction and then seem to jerk back in the other direction.

Braxton Hicks or True Labor Contractions? Before true labor begins, you may have false labor pains. These are also known as Braxton Hicks contractions. They are your body's way of getting ready for the real thing -- the day you give birth -- but they are not a sign that labor has begun or is getting ready to begin.ome women describe Braxton Hicks contractions as tightening in the abdomen that comes and goes. Many women say these “false” contractions feel like mild menstrual cramps. Braxton Hicks contractions may be uncomfortable, but they do not cause labor or open the cervix. Unlike true labor, Braxton Hicks contractions:

- A bi-directional nystagmus is most often encountered, as the direction of oscillation changes according to gaze direction. Nystagmus beats to the right when gaze is oriented to the right and to the left when gaze is oriented to the left. In reversing zone of nystagmus direction, oscillations slow down with reduced amplitude or disappear. Thus, visual acuity is better in this null zone and patients try to use it, inducing a torticollis.

- That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns. Polaris marks the way due north. As you face Polaris and stretch your arms sideways, your right hand points due east, and your left hand points due west. About-face of Polaris steers you due south.

How Do Glaciers Cause Erosion? Notice the smooth polished bedrock with the parallel striations. 1  They polish the bedrock making it smooth. 2  They carve characteristic U-shaped valleys. 3  They cut long parallel grooves in the bedrock called striations. These are important because the can indicate the direction the glacier was traveling.

How to tell which direction a magnetic field is oreinted in? You know the wave is moving in the negative y direction and the electric field is orientated in the positive x direction so it follows that the magnetic field is orientated in the positive z direction. And the orientation of the magnetic field will follow te same sign as the electric field. sc0ttocs · 9 years ago.

The eyes move slowly in one direction and then seem to jerk back in the other direction. Nystagmus can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later on in life.

A Guide To Nystagmus Nystagmus most commonly causes the eyes to look involuntarily from side to side in a rapid, swinging motion rather than staying fixed on an object or person. Some nystagmuses, however, cause the eyes to jerk sideways or up and down.

How Stalactites and Stalagmites Form Water from the end of the stalactite leaves more calcite in a pile on the cave floor, and pretty soon a cone-like stalagmite forms. That’s why stalactites and stalagmites are usually found in pairs. Sometimes they grow together to form a pillar or column. Another word for mineral deposits created in caves by the movement of water is “speleothem,” and there are other types of speleothems besides stalactites and stalagmites.

Orbit of the Moon The orientation of the orbit is not fixed in space, but rotates over time. This orbital precession is also called apsidal precession and is the rotation of the Moon's orbit within the orbital plane, i.e. the axes of the ellipse change direction.

gyrocompass The Foucault gyrocompass is a one-axis astatic gyroscope whose axis is movable in the horizontal plane. Because of the gyroscopic moment generated by the earth’s rotation, its axis tends to coincide with the plane of the meridian.hen the axis AB of the rotor is not in the plane of the meridian (when it is deflected to the east or west), it will deviate from the plane of the horizon because of the earth’s rotation, since the rotor, in accordance with the properties of a free gyroscope, tends to maintain its orientation relative to the stars.
