A Deceptive Hill

See this hill? There is an side-on view and an end-on view. It looks like a hog-back ridge.

A hog back ridge is caused by tilted strata. Some layers are harder and they hold the top in place like this:

Roger’s Quotes

“Aren’t you scared of him?’ Amy asked, slumping down and trying to make herself inconspicuous. ‘He always looks so fierce. Don’t you remember that time he nearly caught us on his land? I was sure he’d give us a beating if he’d got hold of us.’ ‘Humph! My pa would have had something to say to him if he had.’ ‘That wouldn’t have been much comfort.’ ‘Yes, it would. Anyway, who’d be scared of him—sour old man like that.’ Lizzie dismissed Charlie Stewart with a wave of her hand.”
― Shayne Parkinson, Sentence of Marriage
