A saddle-like low mountain ridge. It is formed by water erosion, glacial erosion, fault displacement, etc. It is called col in French and Joch in German. It is sometimes used as the name of an anticline of a fold. Saddles are used as passes that cross mountain ranges, and in high mountain areas they are sometimes used as sites for mountain climbing and tourism.
