Man, those formations are so cool! Looks like stalag...one of those that are in caves.
As if the top of the cave was scraped off and only the bottom stayed :)
Yes, they do look like Stalactite and Stalagmite. Difference is these are mostly formed by wind and water erosion, which is largely a physical weathering process that modified clastic sedimentary rocks. While Stalactite and Stalagmites are chemical weathering process in subterranean caves which modified carbonate sedimentary rocks. Need any more geology? :)
Pfrr... I know all that (without all those fancy words) :D
I just always confuse which one is from the top and which one form the bottom of the cave.
Stalactite from top and Stalagmite from bottom :)
Thank you :)
