Synclinorium

 

a large compound structure of folds of the earth’s crust characterized by a general depression in the center. Synclinoria resemble large synclines complicated by smaller folds. They may reach many hundreds of kilometers in length and dozens of kilometers in width, rarely being more than 100 km wide. They usually originate in geosynclines as a result of the folding and the extensive and prolonged subsidence of the earth’s crust. Synclinoria are associated with anti-clinoria, structures that are opposite in shape.
