The world's combined continental slope is about 200,000 mi (300,000 km) long and descends at an average angle of about 4° from the edge of the continental shelf to the beginning of the ocean basins at depths of 330 - 10,500 ft (100 - 3,200 m). The slope is most gradual off stable coasts without major rivers and is steepest off coasts with young mountain ranges and narrow continental shelves. Slopes off mountainous Coastlines and narrow shelves commonly have outcrops of rock. The dominant sediments of continental slopes are muds; there are smaller amounts of sediments of sand or gravel.
At the shoreline
Yes, the continental slope drops downward to the edge of the continent at which point it plummets down for the depth of the continental plate. It depends upon whom you speak with, but a nation's boundary is generally considered 200 miles beyond that.
Glacis - a slope, especially one that is not very long or steep
Negative Slope can be your speed, position, and/or acceleration, as long as you X increases but your Y decreases.
Well u the equation is in slope intercept form so as long as the coefficient in front of y is one then the coefficient in front of x is the slope in ur case the slope is 8.6
continental slope
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
Here is a pic of the continental slope.
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
The continental shelf starts from the shore to a few miles out with less gradient of slope. The continental slope starts after shelf-break with a higher slope gradient, then follows the continental rise and abyssal-plain.
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
The area between the shoreline and the continental slope is known as the continental shelf. It is a relatively shallow, flat or gently sloping underwater landmass that extends from the shoreline to the beginning of the continental slope. The continental shelf is an important zone for marine life and for human activities such as fishing, oil and gas exploration, and shipping.
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called a continental slope. This feature marks the boundary between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
continental trench
continental margin
The continental shelf is a flattish area which extends from the shore out into the ocean and is made of continental crust. This ends in a slope (the continental slope) which descends to the abyssal plane, which is made of oceanic crust.
