The Victoria Harbour is world-famous for its stunning panoramic night view and skyline, particularly in the direction towards Hong Kong Island where the skyline of skyscrapers is superimposed over the ridges behind.

If the pressure gradient is large enough, the dry offshore wind can become quite strong with gusts reaching speeds of or higher, particularly along and in the lee of the ridges of the Coast Range where the higher wind speed aloft acts like a pump, drawing warm, dry surface air from the windward eastern side up and over the ridgelines.

Its high ridges and peaks give wide views over the San Francisco Bay and inland across other preserved land to Mount Diablo.

The Border Route Trail runs east-west for over through the eastern BWCAW, following the ridges between the long border lakes such as Loon, South, and Rose.

Mid-ocean ridges, high regions on the seafloor where hydrothermal vents and volcanoes exist, were explained as divergent boundaries, where two plates move apart.

The shorelines of these lakes left behind high ground sand ridges that cut through swamps and were used as trails for Indians and later, pioneers.

This allowed for an explanation of why the Klingons on The Original Series lacked brow ridges and were much more human looking than Klingons in any of the other series ; they were mutants created by faulty genetic engineering.

In particular, if Toumaï is a direct human ancestor, then its facial features bring the status of Australopithecus into doubt because its thickened brow ridges were reported to be similar to those of some later fossil hominids ( notably Homo erectus ), whereas this morphology differs from that observed in all australopithecines, most fossil hominids and extant humans.

For example, after analyzing the radar images returned from Venera 15 and 16, it was concluded that the ridges and grooves on the surface of Venus were the result of tectonic deformations.
