00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:02.420
- This was from Davina from Magnolia,

2
00:00:02.420 --> 00:00:04.980
hey, again, from Magnolia Middle
School in Joppa, Maryland.

3
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:06.440
Thanks again for watching.

4
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:08.100
How can you remember the difference

5
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:09.790
between a stalactite and a stalagmite?

6
00:00:09.790 --> 00:00:12.460
Wait, wait, wait, it's my
time to shine, hold on.

7
00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:14.160
So here we go.
(laughing)

8
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.390
So stalactites are the
ones that are hanging tight

9
00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:19.250
to the ceiling, all right,
you can picture that?

10
00:00:19.250 --> 00:00:21.700
They're holding on tight
and they're hanging down,

11
00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:23.920
whereas stalagmites are the ones

12
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.870
that might get big and tall one day

13
00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:30.300
from the drips that are falling
down on them, all right?

14
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.610
Yeah, I had one, ow!
- Yeah.

15
00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:35.870
- All right, then I
have another one online.

16
00:00:35.870 --> 00:00:37.930
This is from sixth-grade students

17
00:00:37.930 --> 00:00:41.870
at Mesa View Elementary
School in Grants, New Mexico.

18
00:00:41.870 --> 00:00:43.430
- That's a--
- what kind of equipment

19
00:00:43.430 --> 00:00:45.443
do I need to explore caves?

20
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.100
- So, well, you gotta start with a helmet,

21
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.120
you gotta protect your head, right?

22
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.690
And then you've gotta have boots on,

23
00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:54.150
we've all got boots on today.

24
00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:55.968
Gosh, what else would you need, el--

25
00:00:55.968 --> 00:00:59.400
- Three sources of light.
- Yes, three sources of light,

26
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.700
elbow pads, knee pads,
in case you have to crawl

27
00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:03.590
like we talked about earlier

28
00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:06.470
and, very important, you
should always have other people

29
00:01:06.470 --> 00:01:08.420
with you, not just by yourself.

30
00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:10.820
You should go in a group of people.

31
00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:12.960
- I appreciate that you always
bring back the importance

32
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:15.190
of the people in caves,
it's not just the resources,

33
00:01:15.190 --> 00:01:16.446
it's the people that are
all brought together.

34
00:01:16.446 --> 00:01:17.960
- It's a team.
- They might help you

35
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:20.770
get out out of cave.
- Yes, in case you get lost.

36
00:01:20.770 --> 00:01:21.603
- [Woman] Yes.
