  2. Dome (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_(geology)

    A dome is a feature in structural geology where a circular part of the Earth's surface has been pushed upward, tilting the pre-existing layers of earth away from the center. In technical terms, it consists of symmetrical anticlines that intersect each other at their respective apices .

  3. Anticline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticline

    An anticline that has been more deeply eroded in the center is called a breached or scalped anticline. Breached anticlines can become incised by stream erosion, forming an anticlinal valley. A structure that plunges in all directions to form a circular or elongate structure is a dome.

  4. Petroleum trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_trap

    Anticlinal trap. An anticline is an area of the subsurface where the strata have been pushed into forming a domed shape. If there is a layer of impermeable rock present in this dome shape, then water-insoluble hydrocarbons can accumulate at the crest until the anticline is filled to the spill point (the highest point where hydrocarbons can escape the anticline).

  5. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    Standard anatomical terms of location are used to describe unambiguously the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on.

  7. River anticline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_anticline

    A river anticline is a geologic structure that is formed by the focused uplift of rock caused by high erosion rates from large rivers relative to the surrounding areas. [1] An anticline is a fold that is concave down, whose limbs are dipping away from its axis, and whose oldest units are in the middle of the fold. [ 2 ]

  8. Heat wave or heat dome? Yes, there's a difference - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/heat-wave-heat-dome-yes...

    The term 'heat dome' has gained prominence recently as climate change, El Niño and other variables have warmed global temperatures and shifted weather patterns. Heat wave or heat dome? Yes, there ...

  9. Fold (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(geology)

    Anticlinal traps are formed by folding of rock. For example, if a porous sandstone unit covered with low permeability shale is folded into an anticline, it may form a hydrocarbons trap, oil accumulating in the crest of the fold. Most anticlinal traps are produced as a result of sideways pressure, folding the layers of rock, but can also occur ...
