What part of the Ocean floor has the most shallow water?
The continental shelf typically has the most shallow water on the ocean floor. This is the submerged edge of a continent that extends from the shoreline to a steeper drop-off point called the continental slope. The shallow waters of the continental shelf are important for marine life and are commonly where coastal communities are located.
Why is a continental shelf physical?
It is part of a continental plate that is submerged by the ocean. At the edge of the continental shelf, the slope suddenly increases and begins to drop off, this is called the continental slope.
How are the shore zone and continental shelf related?
They are related because they are part of the ocean
What is the earths surface from the edge of a continent to the deep part of the ocean?
continental shelf
What part of the surface of the Earth covered by ocean is closest to the shore?
