... The hinge line joins the points of maximum bending along a bed. The axial surface, or plane, passes through the hinges of successive beds, while the axis of the fold is any line on the bed which is parallel to the hinge line. When the axis is inclined to the horizontal, the fold is said to plunge. A ...
