A fold is a bend in a rock layer. Some folds are a few centimeters wide and others cover several kilometers. Sometimes the rock folds enough to turn completely over, and these places are called overturn, or recumbent, folds. Some folding rock layers break from the forces within the crust of the earth and these places are called faults. Folds where the rocks have been pushed upward but not turned upside down are called anticlines and the depressions between the anticlines are called synclines.

An anticline is a geological structure where rock layers are folded upward in an arch shape, with the oldest rocks at the center. They are formed by tectonic forces pushing the Earth's crust together, causing the rocks to bend and fold. Anticlines are often associated with the accumulation of oil and gas deposits.
When continental crust collides with continental crust, it can form large mountain ranges through a process called continental collision. This collision causes the crust to fold and thrust upwards, leading to the formation of extensive mountain systems like the Himalayas.
An Anticline is formed when the crust bends and curves upward.
Another word for Earth's outer surface is "crust."
Fold mountains are formed by the upward movements of chunks of the Earth's crust. This occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing horizontal compression and the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of fold mountains like the Himalayas.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.

The top of the fold mountain is known as a crust.
Syncline is a type of fold that is created when the crust bends and curves downward. It is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core.

The earth's crust is generally solid.
The crust is the thinnest part on the Earth.
