An upfold in rock layers?
== == An upward fold in a rock formation is called an anticline.
What is a type of fold where the layers of rock bend downwards to form a inverted U?
When layers of rock bend downward, the resulting fold is a syncline.
What is the least dense crust outer core mantle or the inner core?
The crust is the least dense. The inner core is the most dense. So from the middle outwards the layers get less and less dense
Name 2 kinds of asymmetrical folds?
The two types of folding that come about as a result of earth movement: syncline and anticline. Syncline folds are down-curving, layers of earth bent downwards, pushing the folds of earth around it upwards. The upwards folds are the anticline folds. ^ <- Anticline v <-Syncline
What causes the layers in a winogradsky column?
The different metabolic processes change from aerobic to anaerobic. The top layers are typically aerobic processes, while the bottom layers are typically anaerobic. The layers represent the flow (steps) of the nitrogen / sulfur / carbon cycle. Nitrogen fixing happens closer to the open air, denitrification happens farthest from the open air because it does not occur in the presence of oxygen.
What rock layers are arched upward?
anticline
What is formed by upfolding or arching of rock layers?
Anticline
How is syncline different from anticline?
A syncline is a fold with younger layers closer to the center of the structure whereas an anticline has older layers closer to the center. A syncline vaguely resembles a smile(you would smile if you were committing a sin[syn]) and an anticline is the opposite, vaguely like an "A"
An upfold in rock layers?

An upfold in rock layers is called a?
If the downfold is the syncline, then the upfold is the anticline i think.
How is a anticline mountain formed?
An anticline doesn't necessarily have to be a mountain. But it is made by bending the rock layers, creating a concave curve in the rock. Anticlines are some of the best traps for resources like oil and gas on earth.
What is the difference between anticlines and domes?
An anticline is a fold in which the older layers of rock are on the inside. A syncline is a fold in which younger layers are on the incline. Usually anticlines bow upwards while synclines bow downwards.
What are the two types of folding?
The two types of folding that come about as a result of earth movement: syncline and anticline. Syncline folds are down-curving, layers of earth bent downwards, pushing the folds of earth around it upwards. The upwards folds are the anticline folds. ^ <- Anticline v <-Syncline
What are layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold know as?
A Syncline is where lays of rock bend downwards and then curve up. An Anticline is the opposite: layers of rock bend upwards and then down.
How does the temperature of the Earths layers change from the core to the crust?
In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
What is a type of fold where the layers of rock bend downwards to form a inverted U?
When layers of rock bend downward, the resulting fold is a syncline.
What is the difference between a Syncline and an Anticline?
A monocline, or monoform, is a fold in rock strata with a zone of steeper dig on a horizontal or gently-dipping sequence, like a step. An anticline is a fold that is convex up, which the oldest beds are at its core.
