Formations in Limestone Caves Most caves are formed in limestone, a type of rock that easily dissolves over time. Caves form when rainwater seeps through cracks in the limestone. Sometimes, the water drips down through cracks. Other times, the woater gushes. Over a long period of time, the limestone wears away, leaving a large empty space called a cave. As water drips from the ceiling of a limestone cave, formations that look like icicles may appear. These formations are called stalactites. The stalactites grow in size and continue to drip water down to the ground of the cave. On the ground, a cone-shaped piece of rock begins to form. This formation is called a stalagmite. Sometimes a stalactite and stalagmite grow together. They form a kind of post called a pillar. Limestone pillars are a beautiful rock formation. How does one remember which formation hangs down from the ceiling and which grows up from the ground? Note that the word stalactite includes the letter c. Think of c as standing for ceiling. The word stalagmite contains the letter g. Think of g as standing for ground. Thus, a stalactite hangs from the ceiling and a stalagmite grows from the ground.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
