Meaning and Origin:
An anticline is a fold in rock layers where the strata dip away in opposite directions from the axis, forming a broad, upward-arched structure.
The term "anticline" was first used by the German geologist Wilhelm von Haidinger in 1841 to describe a fold in the rock layers of the Alps. Since then, it has become a common geological term used to describe this type of fold structure.
