River anticlines form when huge amounts of material are removed by river erosion in an area with low crustal rigidity. The crust rebounds up specifically along the river, while the rest of the area remains relatively constant. This will bend the crust forming an anticline, which can take up to ten thousand years. [7]

Dầu Tiếng Lake is an artificial lake in the three provinces of Tây Ninh, Bình Dương, and Bình Phước in the Southeast region, Vietnam. The lake was formed by damming the upper reaches of the Saigon River, making it the largest irrigation reservoir in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Construction of the lake began in 1981 after surveys ...

According to scholar Pétrus Ký, the waterfront area at the end of rue Catinat was once called Bến Ngự (translating to "royal wharf"), the royal landing stage. He also revealed that it was known in Khmer as Compong-luong, [3] which suggests that its history may date back to the 17th century, when Saigon was still the Cambodian settlement of Prey Nokor.
All anticlines and synclines have some degree of plunge. Periclinal folds are a type of anticlines that have a well-defined, but curved hinge line and are doubly plunging and thus elongate domes. [5] Model of anticline. Oldest beds are in the center and youngest on the outside. The axial plane intersects the center angle of bend.
Formation of a river anticline by river erosion and the associated isostatic rebound. As the river erodes the overlying material, the underlying rocks will rebound up, like a block in water if you remove a weight from on top of it, forming an antiformal structure. (Image created by Michael Stevens)
