Homocline

• abstract: In structural geology, a uniclinal structure, homoclinal structure, unicline or homocline (from old  = same, cline = inclination) is a sedimentary rock unit, which may also be associated with a stratigraphic landform, where the underlying strata are tilted in the same direction, especially with near uniform dip angle. A homocline may be formed by uplift of coastal plain sediments, or as a limb of a large dome or fold.
