What is a asymmetrical fold in science?

Folds which maintain uniform layer thickness are classed as concentric folds; those which do not are called similar folds. Similar folds tend to display thinning of the limbs and thickening of the hinge zone. Concentric folds are caused by warping which results from deformation of the layers, whereas similar folds usually form by some form of dislocation between the layers (sliding), with extension and contraction of the thickness of rock layers differently in the limb and hinge zones. -118 Team!
