Which feature can form when a stalactite and stalagmite join together?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pillar
When a stalactite descending from the cave roof grows until it meets a stalagmite rising from the floor, the two deposits may join and form a continuous limestone column or pillar. Hence, option A is correct. A delta forms from river deposition, an oxbow lake develops from a cut-off meander, and a mushroom rock is produced mainly by wind erosion, so these distractors describe different processes.
