How does a ridge landscape arise?

A ridge landscape arises through geological processes such as tectonic uplift and erosion. When tectonic plates collide, they can create folds and faults in the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of ridges. Over time, erosional forces like wind and water wear down softer surrounding materials, accentuating the elevation of the ridge. This results in a prominent landscape feature characterized by steep slopes and narrow crests.
