Ridge
Definition: ridge
ridge: A long raised section of ground, occurring as part of a mountain range, in a field, on a beach, or on the ocean floor; a long narrow band of high pressure leading away from the center of an anticyclone; a long raised section of earth, made by ploughing up and down on either side of the furrow. In systematic ploughing, ridges first mark out land in a field before the plough is reset for normal work and the field is ploughed. Managing ridges helps farmers control water runoff and improve soil health.
