Syncline and anticline are terms used to describe folds based on the relative ages of folded rock layers. A syncline is a fold in which the youngest rocks occur in the core of a fold (i.e., closest to the fold axis), whereas the oldest rocks occur in the core of an anticline.

Younger rocks will be in the center of a syncline. (An easy way to remember this is "sin" = young = syn cline = younger rock will be in the center.) (No offense to any of you youngsters out there! I was young ... Anticline and Syncline ... Syncline; A linear downfold in sedimentary strata; the opposite of anticline.
