This word evokes a sense of linearity and elevation. It describes a boundary that is high and thin, creating a natural dividing line between two lower slopes or areas. It is most frequently used in geography and geology to describe the spine of a mountain range or the mid-ocean ridge. In a tactile or industrial sense, it refers to a repetitive, physical texture. This makes it a precise term for describing everything from the edges of a seashell to the structural reinforcements in cardboard or metal, emphasizing a rhythmic, raised pattern.

Countable when referring to a specific geographical feature or a single raised strip on a surface.
