Question

what is the difference between anticline and syncline

Answer 1

Anticlines are folds in which each half of the fold dips away from the crest. Synclines are folds in which each half of the fold dips toward the trough of the fold. You can remember the difference by noting that anticlines form an “A” shape, and synclines form the bottom of an “S.”

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A monocline is a simple bend in the rock layers so that they are no longer horizontal. Anticlines are folded rocks that arch upward and dip away from the center of the fold.  A syncline is a fold that bends downward, causing the youngest rocks are to be at the center and the oldest are on the outside.
