Synopsis:

Excerpt from The Mechanics of Appalachian Structure

Anticlines and synclines seldom occur as separate individuals; they are usually combined, lying side by side in alternation, uniting by convergence of several axes to form one, or dying out by the merging of the pitch of an axis with the dip of a stratum. It often happens that the result of the combination of many anticlines and synclines is to form a complex structure, which, regarded as a whole, is either synclinal or anticline]. The former is called a synclinorium, the latter an anticlinorium.

The author concludes that the folds and faults were formed by the stresses produced by the compression of the Earth's crust, as a result of the collision of two continental plates millions of years ago. The study of the Appalachian folds provides insight into the formation of mountain ranges around the globe.
