The hinge point/axis between the geanticline and the miogeosyncline is orientated E-W Explanation: …or is orientated from East to West Charnela: hinge point, hinge axis, pivotal fault "The collided area of the Caribbean plate to the west of the Mona Passage undergoes widespread Neogene shortening (Pubellier et al., 2000) while the uncollided area to the east of the Mona Passage in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is characterized mainly by counterclockwise rotation about a ***hinge point*** in the Mona Passage, broad arching of the Puerto Rico–Virgin Islands arch, normal faulting related to separation from the collided area of Hispaniola, and strike-slip faulting." http://meije.univ-savoie.fr/jhipp/MannHippolytePuertoRico.pd...
