	Anticline - Definition, explanation
		In an exposed eroded anticline the oldest rock layers are in the center and the rocks on either side dip or slope away from the center of the structure.
		The rock at the center of the anticline is higher than the same stratum elsewhere.
		Anticlines typically form during crustal warping as the result of compression concurrent with orogenic mountain building.

	Syncline and Anticline: World of Earth Science
		Syncline and anticline are terms used to describe folds based on the relative ages of folded rock layers.
		A syncline is a fold in which the youngest rocks occur in the core of a fold (i.e., closest to the fold axis), whereas the oldest rocks occur in the core of an anticline.
		Such folds are called synformal anticlines; synformal because of their shape and anticline because of the relative ages of folded layers.

		The rock at the anticline is higher than the same stratum elsewhere.
		Anticlines can be formed by numerous processes, including earthquakes and crustal compression.

	CHAPTER 3: RESULTS
		The plain at the foot of the anticline is cultivated and some zones are also strongly vegetated.
		These are lowlands filled by sediments bounded to the East by the slope of the anticline and to the West by a structural ridge made of a hard rock formation which should act as a natural dam for sediments (visible as a white line running NW-SE).
		It is interesting to note that at the foot of the limestone slopes, a narrow flat zone occurs, bounded to the south by a small ridge of harder rock (possibly limestone, white in the satellite image).

		The Ventura Avenue anticline, which is punctured by more than 1,400 wells drilled to a depth of as much as 6.6 kilometers, is among the best studied - and also fastest-rising - folds in the world and so is ideal for close inspection.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'anticline'
		The oldest rock layers form the core of the fold, and outward from the core progressively younger rocks occur.
		Anticlines form many excellent hydrocarbon traps, particularly in folds with reservoir-quality rocks in their core and impermeable seals in the outer layers of the fold.
		A syncline is the opposite type of fold, having downwardly convex layers with young rocks in the core.

	Upper Green River Valley Coalition: Pinedale Anticline
		During the winter of 2007, the Bureau of Land Management fielded public comment on a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) on industry’s ambitious proposal for year-round and expanded drilling in the Pinedale Anticline project area that lies west and south of the town of Pinedale.
		The proposal marks a troubling escalation, calling for 4,400 more natural gas wells, almost nine times the number currently in place, drilled at a rate of up to 232 a year.
		Coupled with the recently approved 3,100-well infill project on the neighboring Jonah Field, ramped-up drilling in the Pinedale Anticline could forever alter Sublette County’s quality of life, air quality and ability to support abundant wildlife—all the things that make Wyoming’s Upper Green River Valley a great place to live and visit.

	KGS--Bull. 90, Pt. 6--Geologic Structures in Kansas
		The Abilene anticline is interrupted on the south by the Salina basin syncline." Lee and his associates showed that the Voshell anticline farther south is approximately in the same trend with the Abilene anticline, but the two probably are not connected.
		In northern Kansas the syncline east of the Nemaha anticline is expressed in the outlier of Permian rocks extending from northern Nemaha and Brown counties southward to Kansas River (Moore and Landes, 1937; Jewett and Abernathy, 1945, pl. 1).
		It may be observed that although it was recognized that the strike of anticlinal folds in pre-Pennsylvanian rocks in the area differs from the axis of the uplift as a whole, several geologists used the terms Barton arch and Central Kansas uplift for both the pre- and post-Mississippian structure.

	anticline \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		In structural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up or to the youngest beds.
		On a geologic map, anticlines are usually recognized by a sequence of rock layers that are progressively older toward the center of the fold.
		Anticlines are typically flanked by synclines although faulting can complicate and obscure the relation between the two.

	VENTURA AVENUE ANTICLINE (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sylvester, A. Aseismic growth of Ventura Avenue anticline (1978 to 1997): Evidence of anelastic strain release in Ventura basin, southern California, from precise leveling.
		Comparison of three first-order leveling surveys across the anticline, 1978 (NGS) and 1991 (County of Ventura), 1997 (UCSB), indicate that the anticlinal crest rose nearly 40 mm relative to its flanks, despite continued pumping of oil and water from the anticline.
		The cumulative seismic moment of all earthquakes recorded near the anticline in that time period scarcely exceeds the equivalent of a M4 earthquake, which, if it occurred at the 12-16 km depths where the hypocenters are located, would be sufficient to cause only 10 mm of surface uplift (O'Connell et al., 1997).

	Conservationists skeptical of $36M offer - Boston.com
		Baker, however, said that she has yet to see details of the plan and that there is no historical data on the habitat as it existed before the onset of drilling.
		In addition, since the current drilling activity has already reduced the number of grouse and mule deer in the anticline, conservationists want the BLM to set a number on wildlife population decline that could not be exceeded.
		They argue that concentrating drilling in small portions of the anticline year-round, along with other planned improvements, is better for wildlife and habitat than the current on-again, off-again activity under the current seasonal restrictions.

	Which structure, syncline or anticline, is the best to drill in the...
		Anticline= In structural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up or to the youngest beds.
		On a geologic map, anticlines are usually recognized by a sequence of rock layers that are progressively older toward the center of the fold.
		Anticlines are favored locations for oil and natural gas drilling; the fuel's low density causes it to migrate upward to the highest parts of the fold, until stopped by an impermeable layer.
