In structural geology, an anticline is a type of fold that is an arch-like shape and has its oldest beds at its core, whereas a syncline is the inverse of an anticline. A typical anticline is convex up in which the hinge or crest is the location where the curvature is greatest, and the limbs are the sides of the fold that dip away from the hinge.
Oblique air photo of Sideling Hill, facing north, with the I-68 road cut near center, and the path of the National Road (Scenic US 40) visible to the south Sideling Hill is a syncline mountain , in a region of downward-folded ( synclinal ) rock strata between two upfolded anticlines .
A river anticline is a geologic structure that is formed by the focused uplift of rock caused by high erosion rates from large rivers relative to the surrounding areas. [1] An anticline is a fold that is concave down, whose limbs are dipping away from its axis, and whose oldest units are in the middle of the fold. [ 2 ]
The result is an anticline feature in a completely extensional setting. As rollover anticlines develop during sedimentation, each layer typically shows thickening toward the controlling fault. As the underlying layers bend, they create more accommodation space along the controlling fault versus the crest of the anticline.
Anticlinal trap. An anticline is an area of the subsurface where the strata have been pushed into forming a domed shape. If there is a layer of impermeable rock present in this dome shape, then water-insoluble hydrocarbons can accumulate at the crest until the anticline is filled to the spill point (the highest point where hydrocarbons can escape the anticline).
