Shutter ridge
A shutter ridge is a ridge which has moved along a fault line, blocking or diverting drainage. Typically, a shutter ridge creates a valley corresponding to the alignment of the fault that produces it.[1] Shutter ridges occur exclusively at strike-slip faults.

gollark: It's (probably mostly) always more efficient to use the oxide ones, interestingly.
gollark: What fuel are you using?
gollark: I have a bunch of designs or metadesigns for high-efficiency low-heat-fuel expensive-components reactors we could use.
