Anticline ­ a fold in which the limbs dip away from the axis or center of the fold.

Bedding ­ tabular or lenticular layers of sedimentary rock that have a lithologic, textural or structural unity that clearly distinguishes them from layers above and below.

Beds ­ a layer of sedimentary rock 1 cm thicker or more.

Contact ­ the surface separating two different rock bodies.

Dip ­ the angle between the horizontal plane and a structural surface.

Faulting (fault) ­ a surface along which a rock body has broken and been displaced.

Fining up sequence ­ fining-upward succession in which the lower layers of a sequence of sedimentary rock is coarser than the upper layers.

Fold axis ­ an imaginary plane that intersects the crest or trough of a fold so as to divide the fold as symmetrically as possible.

Jointing ­ a fracture in a rock along which no appreciable displacement has occurred.

Outcrop ­ an exposure of bedrock

Strike ­ the bearing (compass direction) of a horizontal line on a bedding plane, a fault plane, or some other planer structural feature.
