Ridges

A ridge is an elongated crest or connected line of high ground that separates slopes, valleys, drainage basins, or neighboring terrain. Ridges can result from erosion, folding, faulting, volcanic construction, glacial shaping, or resistant rock layers and may contain multiple summits or saddles. The type describes the linear landform rather than an extended mountain range or an individual peak.
