- Each drop leaves behind only a miniscule amount of calcite,
每滴水珠只会留下极少量的方解石微粒 - but over time the process can produce some spectacular results.
但随着时间的推移 它们变成了最引人入胜的景观 - If the water seeps though the ceiling quickly,
若是水从洞顶滴落的速度较快 - then the calcite is deposited on the floor of the cave
方解石就会在洞穴地面上沉积 - and that creates stalagmites.
最后形成石笋 - Variations in water flow and the air currents
水流和气流的变化 - produce an infinite variety of forms, but all are created by the same process -
造就了千姿百态的溶洞地形 但它们的形成过程都是一样的
then the calcite is deposited on the floor of the cave 方解石就会在洞穴地面上沉积
