ridging
Creating raised lines
Ridging is the formation of ridges—raised lines or strips on a surface.
In agriculture, ridging means mounding soil into rows for planting: Ridging helps drainage in wet fields.
In meteorology, it describes high-pressure systems extending outward.
On metal or fabric, ridging refers to unwanted raised lines that develop through wear or manufacturing defects.
