Choose the correctly matched cave feature and its formation:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Column – Formed when stalactite and stalagmite meet.
-
Stalactite: Forms hanging from the ceiling of a cave as mineral-laden water drips.
-
Stalagmite: Forms on the floor of a cave from dripping water.
-
Column: Occurs when a stalactite and stalagmite grow and meet, forming a continuous structure from ceiling to floor.
-
Cave Pearl: Forms in water pools due to mineral deposition, not from lava cooling.
Thus, only the column definition is correctly matched.
