anticline |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
anticlineIn geology, rock layers or beds folded to form a convex arch (seldom preserved intact) in which older rocks comprise the core. Where relative ages of the rock layers, or stratigraphic ages, are not known, convex upward folded rocks are referred to as antiforms. The fold of an anticline may be undulating or steeply curved. A steplike bend in otherwise gently dipping or horizontal beds is a monocline. The opposite of an anticline is a syncline. |
