Asphalt roof shingles often show cupping (a concave center)  curling (raised edges which curl downwards)  and fish mouthing (raised edge of a shingle tab at its center with a little curling) 

Each of these asphalt roof shingle conditions is different in appearance and while all of them may indicate worn, old, or fragile roof coverings, their causes and prevention vary. In some of the photos of cupped roof shingles on this page, "fish mouthing" is also visible. It is common for multiple wear signs to be present at once. These shingles happen to be at the end of their life cycle, but having inadequate ventilation will do the same thing to a roof only much earlier in the shingles "life" cycle.
