6-539: Tsekone Ridge , also called Tsekone Peak and Black Knight Cone , is an isolated ridge on the Big Raven Plateau of the Tahltan Highland in northwestern British Columbia , Canada. It is located southeast of Telegraph Creek at the north side of Mount Edziza Provincial Park between Eve Cone and Mount Edziza . The name of this ridge was officially adopted on January 2, 1980, after having been submitted by
12-449: A ridge can be further subdivided into smaller geomorphic or structural elements. As in the case of landforms in general, there is a lack of any commonly agreed classification or typology of ridges. They can be defined and classified on the basis of a variety of factors including either genesis, morphology, composition, statistical analysis of remote sensing data, or some combinations of these factors. An example of ridge classification
18-408: Is a long, narrow, elevated geomorphologic landform , structural feature , or a combination of both separated from the surrounding terrain by steep sides. The sides of a ridge slope away from a narrow top, the crest or ridgecrest , with the terrain dropping down on either side. The crest, if narrow, is also called a ridgeline . Limitations on the dimensions of a ridge are lacking. Its height above
24-661: Is that of Schoeneberger and Wysocki, which provides a relatively simple and straightforward system that is used by the USA National Cooperative Soil Survey Program to classify ridges and other landforms. This system uses the dominant geomorphic process or setting to classify different groups of landforms into two major groups, Geomorphic Environments and Other Groupings with a total of 16 subgroups. The groups and their subgroups are not mutually exclusive; landforms, including ridges, can belong to multiple subgroups. In this classification, ridges are found in
30-649: The Geological Survey of Canada . It is Tahltan in origin and translates to stone fire . Tsekone Ridge is a subglacial mound that formed in the Pleistocene epoch when this area was buried beneath glacial ice during the last ice age . It is associated with the Mount Edziza volcanic complex which in turn forms part of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province . Ridge A ridge
36-409: The surrounding terrain can vary from less than a meter to hundreds of meters. A ridge can be either depositional , erosional , tectonic , or a combination of these in origin and can consist of either bedrock , loose sediment , lava , or ice depending on its origin. A ridge can occur as either an isolated, independent feature or part of a larger geomorphological and/or structural feature. Frequently,
