i believe the answer would be oxidation being Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow from the cave floor. ... 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.
