Hence the anticline noses out to the north and the syncline to the south.
The southern part of the county is occupied by a portion of the Wealden anticline.
Where they dip away from the axis of movement the structure is termed an anticline or anticlinal fold; where they dip towards the axis, it is a syncline or synclinal fold.
The particular bed marked EF has been entirely removed by denudation from the top of the anticline, and is buried deep beneath the centre of the syncline.
The observer in passing northwards along the axis of that anticline finds himself getting into progressively higher strata as the fold sinks down.
