Ridges such like these typically form underground through diagenesis, a process where water flows underground and minerals start to form from chemicals within the groundwater. These minerals are typically most abundant in places such as cracks, where the water can easily flow and minerals have room to grow. The mineral-filled cracks are more difficult to erode than the surrounding rocks and thus can form ridges such like these when the weaker surrounding rocks are eroded away.
