Geological phenomenon: the Durbuy anticline (Belgium)

The anticline is an upwardly convex fold that appears in the landscape as a hill levelled by erosion. It was formed by the accumulation of sea deposits over millions of years. The shifting of the layers of the earth and the formation of the anticline are the result of tectonic shift.
