A convex-upward formation of rock layers, which may form a trap for hydrocarbons. Appraisal Well

A fold in rock layers that forms an arch.

An arch-shaped fold in rock in which rock layers are upwardly convex. The oldest rock layers form the core of the fold, and outward from the core progressively younger rocks occur. Anticlines form man [..]

A fold that is convex upward, or that had such an attitude at some stage of its development. compare syncline .

1867, earlier anticlinal (1849, by ellipsis from anticlinal fold), from anti- "against" + Latinized form of Greek klinein "to lean, slope" from PIE root *klei- "to lean" [..]

A fold in rock where the strata protrudes upwards towards the fold, and each section of rock reaches its highest point by the fold area.

An upward fold or arch of rock strata.

layers of rock that have folded into a hill or crest.

A fold of rock layers that is convex upwards. Antonym of syncline.

an arch-shaped fold in layers of rock. Anticyclone: a high-pressure system that spirals outward clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern. Aphelion: the annual point where the Earth is farthest from the sun (152.5 million kilometers). It falls on the 3rd or 4th of July. The opposite of Perihelion.

An upfold or arch in rock strata in which the beds or layers dip in opposite directions from the crest, permitting possible entrapment of oil and gas.

An upward fold in the crust. See syncline.

upward fold in a rock layer. anticyclone -

a fold in rock layers, generally convex upwards, where the oldest rocks are in the core

A downward-curving (convex) fold in rock that resembles an arch. The central part, being the most exposed to erosion, display the oldest section of rock. See syncline.

In structural geology, a fold of rock that is convex up. Anticlines are one of the main types of hydrocarbon trap.

Fold in rock where the strata protrudes upwards towards the fold, and each section of rock reaches its highest point by the fold area.

An arch or fold in layers of rock shaped like the crest of a wave. Apex

A convex-upward formation of rock layers, which may form a trap for hydrocarbons.

A fold in layered rocks originating below the surface in the form of an elongated dome. Anticlines make excellent drilling prospects since any oil in the deposit will naturally rise to the highest poi [..]

A geological term describing a fold in the earth's surface with strata sloping downward on both sides from a common crest. Anticlines frequently have surface manifestations like hills, knobs, and ridges. At least 80 percent of the world's oil and gas has been found in anticlines.

An upfold or arch of stratified rock in which the beds or layers bend downward in opposite directions from the crest or axis of the fold.

It is an area of the subsurface where the strata have been pushed into forming a domed shape.

Folded geological strata that is convex upwards

(geology) A fold with strata sloping downwards on each side.
