Longman dictionary of contemporary English:
ridge: a) something long and thin that is raised above the things around it
A small ridge of sand separated the field from the beach. The ridges on the soles give the shoes a better grip.
b) the part at the top of a roof, where the two sides meet

gable: the upper end of a house wall where it joins with a sloping roof and makes a shape like a triangle
the gable end of the barn

both can be used as adjectives
