Step-by-step explanation:

Synclines are nothing but are compression of rocks on the road. When the rocks are squeezed together due to various reasons( mainly due to the compressive stresses of tectonics), they form a series of folds. And Synclines are these folds which are downward sloping in nature and dip towards the troughs.
