What are the different types of fingerprints?



Answers:
The four main types of fingerprints and informal definition:


1. An Arch fingerprint has ridges that enter from one side, rise to a slight bump and exit out the converse side from which they entered.

2. A Tented Arch fingerprint is similar to the (plain) Arch except that at lowest one ridge stands at an angle of 45 degrees or more.

3. A Whorl fingerprint contains at lowest one ridge that makes a complete 360-degree circuit around the center of the print. (Whorls can hold clockwise and anti clockwise spirals).

4. A Loop fingerprint has one or more ridges enter from one side, and recurve and exit like side they entered (Loops can be further subdivided).
plain arch, tented arch, disappeared slant loop, right slant loop, plain whorl, double loop whorl, central pocket loop whorl, and not deliberate whorl.
plain arch, tented arch, left slant loop, right slant loop, plain whorl, double loop whorl, centralized pocket loop whorl, and accidental whorl.
