An anticlinorium is a large anticline in which a series of minor anticlinal folds are superimposed. Examples include the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Purcell Anticlinorium in British Columbia [1] and the Blue Ridge anticlinorium of northern Virginia and Maryland in the Appalachians, [6] or the Nittany Valley in central Pennsylvania.

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. A symmetrical fold is one in which the axial plane is vertical.

The meaning of ANTICLINORIUM is a series of anticlines and synclines so grouped that taken together they have the general outline of an arch —opposed to synclinorium.

An anticlinorium is a series of anticlinal folds on a regional-scale anticline. Examples include the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Purcell Anticlinorium in British Columbia and the Blue Ridge anticlinorium of northern Virginia and Maryland in the Appalachians, or the Nittany Valley in central Pennsylvania.

Anticlinorium definition: A large, generally anticlinal structure consisting of a succession of anticlines and synclines.

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. A symmetrical… …into linear, regularly spaced folds—alternating anticlines and synclines—and thrust on top of one another.

2007年1月28日 · The core of the anticlinorium brings up some of the oldest rocks exposed anywhere in the eastern United States—granite and various granitelike gneisses formed at least 1.1 billion years ago.

In geology terms the difference between anticlinorium and synclinorium is that anticlinorium is a series of parallel anticlinal folds on a regional-scale anticline while synclinorium is a large syncline with superimposed smaller folds.

The system of roughly parallel folds which are grouped together may be, when regarded as a whole, either anticlinal, rising up into a great compound arch, or synclinal, depressed into a great compound trough. The former is called an anticlinorium, and the latter a synclinorium.

Definition of anticlinorium A series of anticlines and synclines, so grouped that taken together they have the general outline of an arch; opposite of synclinorium. Ref: Webster 3rd
