Syncline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In structural geology, a syncline is a downward-curving fold, with layers that dip toward the center of the structure. A synclinorium is a large syncline with superimposed smaller folds. On a geol...

In structural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core. The term is not to be confused with antiform , which is a purely descriptive term for any fold ...

Beds dip towards the fold axis in a syncline and away from the fold axis in an anticline only when the folded layers were upright before folding (i.e., where younger layers overlaid older layers). Before describing folds, it is therefore necessary to establish the primary order in which layers were deposited.

A syncline is perfectly exposed in Ellesmere Island. ... So 99 of 100 geologists would look at this image and say, "Where is that beautiful syncline?" The hundredth might add "—or synformal anticline." (The answer is Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic.) Synclines can be as small as a hand specimen.

The process of folding occurs when rock is compressed, as it is along colliding plate boundaries. Upturned folds are called anticlines and down turned folds are called synclines . Anticlines and synclines are geologic structures, that is, they are folds ... Figure 15.24 Teton Anticline, ... Figure 15.25 Syncline in Lockhart Basin,

An anticline is a convex up fold in rock that resembles an arch like structure with the rock beds (or limbs) dipping way from the center of the structure (Figure 10l-3). ... Figure 10l-4: Syncline fold. Note how the rock layers dip toward the center of the fold and are roughly symmetrical.

Extensive folding is represented by a repeated pattern of anticlines and synclines. Two anticlines are always separated by a syncline, and two synclines are always separated by an anticline. One side of the fold is called the limb;
