| Geosyncline description |
|---|
| Geosyncline originally called a geosynclinal is an obsolete geological concept to explain orogens which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries before the theory of plate tectonics was envisaged. A geosyncline was described as a giant downward fold in Earth's crust with associated upward folds (geanticlines, geanticlinals) that preceded the climax phase of orogenic deformation. The theory served as a means to explain the formation of mountains. |
