Ramon Valentine · 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. Anticlines form an A shape, and synclines form the bottom of an S.

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."
