A ridge is a long, elevated landform consisting of a series of hills or mountains that are connected. It is typically formed by tectonic activity, such as the collision of tectonic plates. A trench, on the other hand, is a long, narrow depression in the ocean floor. Trenches are usually formed where one tectonic plate is subducted beneath another, creating a deep and steeply inclined boundary.
