Question

A(n) ________ is a structure in which the oldest rocks are located in the center.

Answer 1

An anticline - it is in an arch-like shape and its oldest rocks are located at its core.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Anticline.

Explanation:

An anticline is a type of arched folded rock that dips away from the center of the fold, and it has its oldest beds at its core.

They are a sequence of layers of rocks that are getting older towards the center and that were originally horizontal and flat.

The rock layers receive pressure causing them to wrinkle and crush. The pressures can be small (like a faulting) or of a large scale (tectonic plate movement).
