Which cave formation process stops completely during droughts?

💡 Explanation

Calcite precipitation, generating speleothems, depends on dissolved calcium carbonate reaching saturation; because groundwater flow ceases during a drought, the calcite reaches thermodynamic equilibrium with existing rock rather than depositing more material; therefore no growth occurs, rather than changes to the water table.
