Name 2 kinds of asymmetrical folds?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

An overturned fold is a fold in which one limb is tilted beyond 90 degrees. Rock layers may also be bent so much that a fold appears to be lying on its side also called recumbent fold.

This is the full way of describing in the above is easier for younger people.The rock layers in folds bend symmetrically. Rock layers can bend into folds that are not symmetrical. Such folds are asymmetrical folds. in a asymmetrical fold, one limb may dip down more steeply than the other one. An overturned fold is a fold in which one limb is tilted beyond 90 degrees. Rock layers may also be bent oh so far that it is shown laying on its side. Geologist call this type of "laying down" a recumbent fold.

Similar definition may be found in the middle schools text book.
