Folds, descriptive
Goals: 1) To understand the basic geometric elements of folds and 2) to classify folds based on their shape.
Outline
1. The basics: Synforms and
antiforms
2. Geometric elements of folds
3. Classification schemes
Synforms and Antiforms
• Monocline
• Synform — Includes synclines and synformal anticlines
• Antiform — Includes anticlines and anticlinal synclines
Geometric elements of folds-I
• Fold profile plane
• Fold hinge
• Hinge zone
• Fold limb
Geometric elements of folds-II
• Inflection point
• Axial plane• Axial trace
Simple and complex fold elements
Wavelength and amplitude
Classification: Orientation of
hinge/axial surface

Classification: Interlimb angle
• Gentle 180–170°
• Open 170–90°
• Tight 90–10°
• Isoclinal 10–0°

Classification based on shape
• Cylindrical folds
• Chevron or kink folds
• Cuspate folds
• Symmetrical vs. Asymmetrical folds

Dip-isogon classification
• Class-1A
• Class-1B (parallel)
• Class-1C
• Class-2 (similar)
• Class-3
Parasitic folds
What happens in non-similar folds?
Disharmonic Folds
Disharmonic Folds
Map symbols used for folds
• Anticlines and synclines
• Overturned anticlines and synclines
• Plunging folds
