n.单斜层，单斜结构，单斜褶皱

The monocline is a geological structure that forms when layers of rock are tilted at a single, gentle slope.
单斜线是一种地质构造，当岩石层以单一的、温和的坡度倾斜时形成。
In some areas, monoclines can create dramatic cliff faces as one side of the rock layer drops sharply.
在某些区域，单斜线可以创造出壮观的悬崖，因为岩层的一侧急剧下降。
The monocline often results from the pressure exerted by movements in the Earth's crust, such as faulting or folding.
单斜线通常是由地壳运动产生的压力造成的，比如断层或褶皱。
Geologists use monoclines to understand past tectonic activity and the history of rock formations.
地质学家利用单斜线来了解过去的构造活动和岩石形成的史。
The Mississippi River has cut through the monocline, exposing a cross-section of sedimentary rock layers.
密西西比河切割穿过单斜线，暴露了沉积岩层的横截面。
Monoclines can also trap oil and gas, making them important features for the petroleum industry.
单斜线也可以困住石油和天然气，使它们成为石油工业的重要特征。
The formation of monoclines can lead to the creation of mineral deposits due to the concentration of certain elements.
单斜线的形成可能导致矿物沉积物的形成，因为某些元素的浓度。
The study of monoclines helps scientists reconstruct the ancient landscape and environmental conditions of an area.
对单斜线的研究帮助科学家重建一个地区的古代景观和环境条件。
In some cases, monoclines may be obscured by younger rock layers or covered by vegetation, making them difficult to identify.
在某些情况下，单斜线可能被较年轻的岩层遮盖，或者被植被覆盖，使其难以识别。
The presence of a monocline can affect the stability of buildings and infrastructure built on or near it.
单斜线的存在会影响建在其上或附近的建筑物和基础设施的稳定性。
