What does RIDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, narrow raised strip of land, such as a hilltop or mountain crest, or a similar raised line on any surface.
A ridge is the highest, narrowest part of a landform, the line where two slopes meet, whether on a mountain range, a plowed field or the top of a roof. Meteorologists borrow the same word for an elongated area of high atmospheric pressure, called a ridge of high pressure, because it stretches across a weather map the way a mountain ridge stretches across land. Builders use ridge for the horizontal line at the very top of a roof where both sloping sides join, an essential structural point covered by a ridge tile or ridge beam. Whatever the surface, a ridge always marks a raised, elongated feature rather than a single peak or point.
