Osteophytic ridging means a bone spur.
Osteophytes are often called bone spurs. These bony protrusions form in and around joints, often causing pain and limiting range of motion. Many osteophytes are identified by their shape such as osteophytic ridging, spurring, or lipping. However, each osteophyte has a unique shape based on the cause and location.
Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.
in medical terms what does ridging mean
Basically this medical term is bone spur formation. Disc osteophyte is a spinal cord condition that is caused by the development of bone spurs or osteophytes on the vertebrae or intervertebral discs.
Something that will not bend is said to be ridged.
Spondylotic ridging found on MRI is when there is calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs behind the bodies of vertebrae caudal to cephlad. Neural foramina are the openings in the spinal column where the spinal nerves exit to the periphery.

It basically boils down to there is a build up of bone Probably the result of some form of arthritis's. that is growing into a nerve restricting it. this results in pain and other problems.
shield volcanoes are formed from repeated eruptions of thin runny basaltic lava which has the ability to flow long distances before it cools/hardens. There is also ridging in the land which adds the the structure of the volcano. Its only lava unlike composite/steep volcanoes (which have layers of lava/ash) because they are effusive/ non explosive there isn't much ash produced. They occur at constructive plate boundaries. Summary: Convection currents in mantle move two plates the plates move apart the magma in the mantle rises there is also buckling and ridging of rock more magma rises + cools over time more and more magma rises and cools making the volcano! Hope this helps! revising volcanoes for exams right now!
