A straight or curved line which joins the points of maximum curvature along the hinge of a fold.
Hinge line
A line either side of which isostatic readjustment is uneven; the line separating uplift from subsidence (Sella et al. (2007) Geophys. Res. Letts. 34, L02306). In glaciology, it is the point where a glacier, reaching the coast, starts to float (Debenham (1965) Geo. J. 131, 3).
