A bony ridge separating two surfaces is called an interosseous crest, which serves as an attachment point for muscles or ligaments and provides structural support between bones. It helps maintain stability and alignment in the joint.
We can decrease friction by lubrication - that is to say, we put in some slippery substance, usually oil - or by separating the two surfaces with something that rolls, ball bearings or wheels of some kind.
how hard the surfaces push to gether the types of surfaces involved
The level of friction between two surfaces is influenced by factors such as the roughness of the surfaces, the force pressing the surfaces together, and the type of material the surfaces are made of.
Two rough surfaces in contact will produce more heat due to increased friction compared to two smooth surfaces or a smooth and rough surface. Adding oil between two surfaces will reduce friction and heat generation.
The point where two surfaces meet is called an "intersection" or a "junction."
An arête is a thin ridge of rock that is left separating the two valleys.
Sharp narrow ridge separating two glacial troughs (U-shaped valleys), or corries.
Mid-ocean ridge. Now that was a simple answer.

A mid-ocean ridge is formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other and the opening left by them separating fills in with magma.
The structure separating the nostrils is called the nasal septum. It is composed of bone and cartilage and helps to divide the two nasal passages.
ridge is crista (cristae) in latin With humerus bone scapula is envolved in two situations: Medial supracondylar ridle and lateral supracondylar ridge
An arête is typically formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys. The arête is a thin, sharp ridge of rock that is separating the two valleys.
A mid-ocean ridge is formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other and the opening left by them separating fills in with magma.
The ethmoid bone is a square shaped bone located at the top of the nose separating the two eye sockets. It is not a hard bone; rather spongy and its main function is to give support to the nose & eye sockets as well as to protect the organs; specifically the eyes themselves .
"Reducing a fracture" is literally what you do when you "fix" a bone that is fractured. When a bone breaks there is a "space" separating the two pieces of bone. The space, also called a "fracture", can be very small or very large but there is a space nonetheless. To fix this bone you need to bring the two pieces back together in an anatomic position and "minimize the space" created by the break or in other words "reduce the fracture"
