What causes anticlines and synclines?
Anticlines and Synclines typically form during crustal deformation as the result of compression that accompanies orogenic mountain building.
Large anticlines form what kind of mountains?
The large anticlines form the fold mountain and the dome mountains. This is usually as a result of jointing, folding and faulting.
