AI overview

A ridge is a long, narrow elevated landform created by the meeting of two sloping surfaces, typically formed by mountain ranges or chains of peaks. Ridges matter because they shape landscapes, influence weather patterns and water flow, and often define geographical boundaries and hiking routes in mountainous regions.
