Where...

Is it correct to say "where the water is flowing over the ground the flowstone is formed"?
  

Top answer

Jadel W here the water is flowing over the ground the flowstone is formed . It's correct though it is inverted from its normal order. It seems that it is trying to be more like a definition, thus: Flowstone is formed where water flows over the ground.

While a native speaker is on his way to the post...

A flowstone forms/is formed where the water flows down on the ground.

Edit: Sorry, CJ, you pressed the post button while I was checking online whether flowstone was countable or uncountable.

Mr. Tomcountable or uncountable
Oxford had two examples. Both were uncountable so I changed my example from "a flowstone" to "flowstone".
