* Syntaxial Bend: This refers to a sharp bend or curve in a mountain range, usually caused by the collision of two tectonic plates. The bend is typically concave towards the direction of plate movement.
* Zagros Mountains: Located in Iran and Iraq, these mountains are formed by the collision of the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The collision has resulted in a significant syntaxial bend in the range, creating a sharp curve in the mountains.
