Los cristales en las cuevas

The video explains how rainwater, by absorbing carbon dioxide, forms carbonic acid that dissolves limestone, creating caves. Over time, these caves develop structures like stalagmites and stalactites through processes like nucleation, where ions form crystalline structures. The video highlights the slow growth of these formations over thousands of years.

What conditions are necessary for calcite crystals to grow in caves?

What are stalagmites and stalactites, and how do they form?
