Exempel på hur man kan använda ANTICLINES i en mening

• The Mornington Peninsula is crossed by many seismically active fault lines, monoclines, synclines and anticlines; the largest of which is the 100 km long Selwyn Fault which is capable of producing earthquakes of around 7.
• In a series of relatively short but brisk pulses (lasting less than a million years each), softer areas of Cretaceous sands and chalk along the Wardour–Portsdown fault were inverted and pushed upwards into a series of synclines and anticlines (see ‘Chalk Downs’ below), while the hard Jurassic limestone along the south coast may have resisted the pressure, leading to a more complex pattern of folds, and both normal and reverse faults, along the Purbeck–Wight fault and further west.
• Sideling Hill is a syncline mountain, in a region of downward-folded (synclinal) rock strata between two upfolded anticlines.
• Structurally the range comprises a succession of wide anticlines and synclines in a Hercynian WNW-ESE direction.
• Within regions that have experienced tectonic deformation, systematic joints are typically associated with either layered or bedded strata that have been folded into anticlines and synclines.
• The most commonly used terms to describe and classify folds, based on their geometry, are the terms antiforms and synforms, as well as anticlines and synclines.
• All of these sedimentary rocks are faulted, folded into complex anticlines and synclines, and intruded by thin diabase dikes.
• Large listric regional faults dipping towards the ocean develop with rollover anticlines and related crestal collapse grabens.
• In an area affected by thrust tectonics, buckling of the overburden layer will allow the salt to rise into the cores of anticlines, as seen in salt domes in the Zagros Mountains and in El Gordo diapir (Coahuila fold-and-thrust belt, NE Mexico).
• The Raymond Effect operates at ice divides, creating anticlines in the radar-detected isochrones, allowing greater capture of older ice when coring.
• The meaning of this term has been further confused by Grabau, who redefined uniclinal, not as a geological structure, but as a general term for ridges produced by erosion of anticlines.
• The great basalt flows of the Columbia Basin and of the Ellensburg Formation, in some places over 5000 meters (17,000 feet) thick, have been folded into ridges (anticlines) and valleys (synclines) running roughly east–west as a result of north–south compression.
• This broad, multistate zone of intraplate seismicity lay just to the north of the New Madrid Seismic Zone and comprises both strike-slip and dip-slip earthquake mechanisms across numerous named faults, grabens, and anticlines.
• The contortions in the rock display astonishing anticlines and synclines, and the vivid coloration of the surrounding Quartzite is remarkable.
• Seismographic mapping completed by geologists revealed monoclines, anticlines, and synclines, all of which suggest deformation during the Paleozoic era, when strike-slip faulting took place nearby.
• The sediments have since been upturned, upfolded (forming anticlines), downfolded (forming synclines) and folded back onto themselves (forming recumbent folds).
• The tight folds are overprinted by secondary folding and deformed into large anticlines and synclines with a wavelength of about 2 kilometers (Cubas syncline in the south followed by the Fougeyrollas anticline and the Génis syncline to the north).
• Most of these "faults" are actually zones of complex faulting at the boundaries between sedimentary basins (synclines, "∩") and crustal uplifts (anticlines, "∪").
• The volcanic layers deformed into synclines and the dome like TTG bodies created anticlines which is represented in the BGB today.
• Also on trend with large existing fields, the exploration targets in the Ponte dei Grilli permit area are gas accumulations trapped in thrusted anticlines, stratigraphic pinch outs and structural features in the Plio-Pleistocene turbiditic sands located in the Apennines foredeep.
