A plunging fold is where the fold axis is not horizontal, causing the rocks to both fold and tilt. A syncline is a downward fold with the youngest rocks at the core, an anticline is an upward fold with the oldest rocks at the core, and dip is the angle at which a rock layer is tilted from the horizontal.
