1. anticlinorium

   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. Anticlines can be recognized and differentiated from antiforms by a sequence of rock layers that become progressively older toward the center of the fold. Therefore, if age relationships between various rock strata are unknown, the term antiform should be used. The progressing age of the rock strata towards the core and uplifted center, are the trademark indications for evidence of anticlines on a geologic map. These formations occur because anticlinal ridges typically develop above thrust faults during crustal deformations. The uplifted core of the fold causes compression of strata that preferentially erodes to a deeper stratigraphic level relative to the topographically lower flanks. Motion along the fault including both shortening and extension of tectonic plates, usually also deforms strata near the fault. This can result in an asymmetrical or overturned fold.

1. anticlinorium

   An anticlinorium is a large, elongated fold in the Earth's crust that is characterized by a series of anticlines and synclines arranged in a linear or curving pattern. It is typically formed by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, causing rocks to bend and fold into a series of upward-arching anticlines and downward-arching synclines. Anticlinoria can be found in a variety of geological settings, such as mountain ranges, and are often associated with the accumulation of sedimentary rocks.
