Da.

> Is scree the correct term for the rough boulders of a rockfall?

Boulders usually refers to large rocks, roughly the size of a television
set or larger.  Scree usually refers to smaller loose rocks on a slope
or hillside, from the size of a pea up to the size a closed hand, often
with larger rocks mixed in.

> Is comb or ridge the right expression for a line of mountains?

a ridge is a line connecting the high point of a line of mountains.
Seen from a distance, especially if the ridge appears steep and narrow,
it is correct to refer to it as a mountain ridge.  A group of mountains
may also be referred to as a mountain line.
