8 TKS Study Guide, #23 4. stalactite is a feature that hangs like an icicle from the roof of a cavern. How do stalactites in limestone caverns most likely form? Glaciers move through the cavern and deposit weathered limestone. Wind flows through cracks in the roof and erodes some of the limestone. n underground river flows through the cavern and dissolves some of the limestone. Groundwater drips through cracks in the roof and deposits limestone over time.
