monocline
A monocline is a type of geological formation where all the layers of rock are folded in a single, uniform direction, creating a steep slope or incline. Typically, this occurs when the rock strata have been uplifted or disrupted due to tectonic activity. They essentially appear as a large ramp in the earth's subsurface.
