Exactly defined, a ridge is an elongated topographical or structural feature that rises noticeably above the surrounding terrain, presenting a high, narrow crest along its length. In architecture and civil engineering, it is the highest horizontal line connecting the topmost slopes of a roof structure. In geomorphology, it represents a long chain of hills or mountains forming a continuous elevated crest. In mechanics, it denotes a raised, narrow strip or linear margin left on a manufactured component or surface during tooling.
