Folding.
A fold
The buckling of rock layers is known as folding. Folding occurs when rock layers are subjected to compressional forces, causing them to bend and deform. This process can result in the formation of structures like anticlines and synclines.
An anticline is a type of fold where the layers of rock bend downwards to form an inverted U shape. This fold represents an upward convex fold in rock layers and is characterized by older rocks in the center and younger rocks on the sides.
...known as syncline
A fold in geology is a bend in rock layers caused by tectonic forces. The two main types of folds are anticlines (upward-arched rock layers) and synclines (downward-arching rock layers).

Fols
A bend in rock layers created by pressure is called folding. It refers to a ductile behavior in which planar or flat layers of rock bend in response to stress.

Layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold known as a syncline. This type of fold typically has the youngest rocks in the center surrounded by older rocks on either side. Synclines are common features in folded mountain ranges.
When rock layers bend and buckle, it results in the formation of folds in the Earth's crust. This folding occurs due to tectonic forces that compress and deform the rock layers, leading to the creation of structures such as anticlines and synclines. These folded rock layers can be seen in mountain ranges and other tectonically active regions.

Syncline.
Most rock layers (and ALL sedimentary layers) start out flat. Folding changes the angle of lie (even to perpendicular and beyond).
