A ridge is a long, narrow, elevated geomorphologic landform, structural feature, or a combination of both separated from the surrounding terrain by steep sides. The sides of a ridge slope away from a narrow top, the crest or ridgecrest , with the terrain dropping down on either side.
Headland – Landform extending into a body of water, often with significant height and drop; Highland – Area of high elevation such as a mountainous region or elevated mountainous plateau; Hill – Landform that extends above the surrounding terrain; Hillock – Small hill; Hogback – Long, narrow ridge
Landform comprising an immense pile of calcareous material previously accumulated on an ancient sea floor. Reef knolls can be divided into bioherms and biostromes. A bioherm is a landform of organic sedimentary rock enclosed or surrounded by rock of different origins. A biostrome is a distinctly bedded or broadly lenticular sedimentary rock ...
Previous observations and the research of Gierman et al. proved that the activity of a domain has great impact on the expression of the genes located in it. And the genes within a RIDGE are co-expressed. However the constructs used by Gierman et al. were regulated by al full-time active promoter.
ridge An elongated raised landform which forms a continuous elevated crest for some distance, such as a chain of hills or mountains. The line formed by the highest points, with only lower terrain immediately to either side, is called the ridgeline. ridge and swale. Also dune and swale.
Dinosaur Ridge is only a short segment of the Dakota Hogback that extends the length of the Front Range from Wyoming to southern Colorado. [6] The Grand Hogback is a 70-mile long (110 km) ridge located in western Colorado. [7] It marks part of the boundary between the Colorado Plateau to the west and the Southern Rocky Mountains to the east. [8]
Ridge (biology), a domain of the genome with a high gene expression Ridge (meteorology), an elongated region of relatively high atmospheric pressure Ridge detection, an image descriptor for capturing elongated objects that are brighter than their surrounding
The first discovered mid-ocean ridge was the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a spreading center that bisects the North and South Atlantic basins; hence the origin of the name 'mid-ocean ridge'. Most oceanic spreading centers are not in the middle of their hosting ocean basis but regardless, are traditionally called mid-ocean ridges.
