A monocline is a structure in which otherwise horizontal beds show
Answer: D
Correct answer: a single local step of steeper dip
A monocline is a one-limbed structure: the beds are horizontal, steepen briefly through a flexure, and resume horizontality at a different level. It has no opposed limbs and no true axial plane in the ordinary sense. Monoclines commonly form in a sedimentary cover draped over a fault in the basement beneath, the cover flexing where the rigid rock below has broken.
