synclinal ridge
synclinal ridge An elongated hill underlain by a syncline whose axis trends parallel with it. Its upstanding nature may result from the relative strength of a compressed downfold compared with the tensioninduced weakness of adjacent anticlines, but other explanations have been proposed. See also INVERTED RELIEF.
