Anteclise
An anteclise is a large uplifted structure in a continental platform setting, with low-angle, divergent dips, formed by slow and steady central uplift.
Usage
The term is used mostly by Russian geologists.[1] It is often synonymous with the more widespread terms high, uplift and massif.
Examples
- Nepa-Botuoba Anteclise, Russia[2]
- Volga-Ural Anteclise, Russia[3]
