Best Answer

Hogbacks are formed through the process of erosion, where resistant rock layers are uplifted and tilted at an angle, creating a steep ridge. The softer rock layers around the hogback erode more quickly, exposing the harder layers that form the ridge. Over time, this differential erosion creates the distinctive shape of a hogback.
