The anticlines represents ridges or folds of stratified rocks, with the strata being sloping downwards from the crest.
The synclines represent through or folds of stratified rocks, with the strata being sloping upwards from the axis.
Both of these features are formed in the same manner, by compression. They are also part of a same geological occurrence. Both of them are curved, and seen from side perspective, they are representing one whole, and they look like a wave.
The difference is mainly that the anticlines are always above and they slope downwards, while the synclines are always on the bottom and slope upwards.
Answer:
The US liquid gallon is a unit of fluid volume equal to four quarts, eight pints, or sixteen cups.
The most unreliable variable in diagnosing the property
minerals such as quartz is their color as it is not consistent with the use of
such external factors. The color could change, that is why it is considered to
be unreliable in diagnosing some of the minerals.
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.
A watershed is a certain area that separates water from flowing into rivers/seas.
