Consider the following statements about folds: An anticline is a fold that is convex upward, and a syncline is a fold that is concave upward. An anticlinorium is a large syncline on which minor folds are superimposed, and a synclinorium is a large anticline on which minor folds are superimposed. Which of the above statements is correct? Correct Answer 1 only

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e 1 only.

  • An anticline is a fold that is convex upward, and a syncline is a fold that is concave upward.
  • An anticlinorium is a large anticline on which minor folds are superimposed, and a synclinorium is a large syncline on which minor folds are superimposed. Hence, statement II is incorrect.
  • Folds are generally classified according to the attitude of their axes and their appearance in cross-sections perpendicular to the trend of the fold.
  • The axial plane of a fold is the plane or surface that divides the fold as symmetrically as possible.
  • The axial plane may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined at any intermediate angle.
  • The angle of inclination of the axis, as measured from the horizontal, is called the plunge.
