Distinguish between anticlines and synclines

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Anticlines are upward arched structures; the rocks in an anticline are oldest at the core and grow progressively younger away from the axis. Synclines are downward sag structures; the rocks in a syncline are youngest at the core, and as you move horizontally away from the axis, the rocks get older.
