What is an anticline? an up fold in rock layers, resembles the letter A, the oldest rocks are in the center of the fold. What is a syncline?

Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges. Fold mountains are created through a process called orogeny.

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (figure 1). Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries.

Folding. The bending of rock layers due to stress in the Earth’s crust. Fault.
