Depending on their specific geological formation, structural function, or physical appearance, clusters of multiple ridges are known by several alternative names. In physical geography, multiple parallel ridges are frequently called a mountain range, cordillera, fold belt, or system of escarpments. In architectural construction, multiple raised linear seams on metal roofing panels are called standing seams or corrugations. In anatomy, multiple raised tissue folds or bone lines are referred to as crests, trabeculae, or anatomical striae depending on their location.
