Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hogback is a geological feature that is formed by the edges of an uplifted block of older rock, exposing a ridge of steeply inclined, resistant strata. The name "hogback" comes from the resemblance of the ridge to the back of a hog. Hoodoo, monotreme, and shellback are not geological features related to this definition.
