Anticline - 2

 

In geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core. Anticlines are usually recognized by a sequence of rock layers that are progressively older toward the center of the fold.

Now that you know what a geologic anticline, -----is let's look at some.

Pinedale, Wyoming is a booming natural gas area. Hydrocarbons are known to get trapped in anticlines where the overlaying strats are not permeable.

Of course the natural gas is trapped by anticlines deep underground.
