A ridge on a hill or mountain is a long, narrow geological landform characterized by a continuous crest or elevated peak line that slopes downward on both sides into lower valleys or ravines. These natural topographic formations are typically carved out over millennia through differential erosion, tectonic uplift, or glacial activity, where harder, more weather-resistant rock strata endure while softer surrounding soils erode away, leaving behind a prominent, elongated backbone along the landscape topography.
