What is a downward fold in rocks?
syncline
Why would layers of rocks curve downward?
Layers of rocks can curve downward due to tectonic forces. When two tectonic plates collide, the pressure and compression can cause the rocks to fold and bend. This folding can create downward curves known as synclines, where the youngest rocks are exposed in the center and older rocks are found on the sides.

Why do rocks fold instead of break?
The surface below the crust (the earth's outermost layer of soil) is hot and sizzling (lol) so the tendency is, the rocks get too hot and of course, they melt. So with that being said, the rocks get soft and they fold instead of break. :)
