Explanation:
Ridge, neste caso, refere-se à cadeias de montanhas submersas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Oceanic_ridges
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Indian_Ridge

Em português, o termo correto é "dorsais oceânicas":

Acho que simplesmente cordilheira vai ficar estranho, ainda mais porque existe um termo específico para cordilheiras submarinas. Dizer que há uma cordilheira de montanhas abaixo da África do Sul, e que vem do sudoeste da Índia ainda por cima (ou seja, atravessa todo o oceano Índico até o sul da África), é no mínimo estranho.
