Hey Mone,
ReplyDeleteGreat learning. One way that helps me remember which one is which is thinking about tights (the leggings that girls wear) and they hang from a washing line, so stalactites are the ones that hang and stalagmites come up from the ground.
Do you remember seeing these at the maritime museum last year?
