Question

In this part of the lab you will identifying different folds and whether they are symmetric or asymmetric. Look at the samples pictures  and identify. 

Synclines – when rock layers fold downwards creating a trough

Anticlines – when rock layers fold upwards creating an arch

Symmetric – when the sides of the fold mirror each other

Asymmetric – when the sides of the fold do not mirror each other
Overturned – when one limb of the fold is tilted beyond vertical
