Where The most gradual slope in the ocean can be found?
the abyssal plain
How do you get the Rate Of Change?
the rate of change is equal to the slope. the slope is found in the equation Y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept (i.e. the value of y when x=0)
How do you get the slope of a line on a graph?
Take a tangent at the point where you want the slope. Then the slope of the graph at that point is the slope of the tangent, which is found by taking another point on the tangent and then taking the change in y between the two points and divid it by the change in x.
What are the three primary topographic profiles of the ocean floor?
Continental shelf Continental slope abyss/abyssal plain
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
Is rate of change the same as slope?
Yes, Rate of change is slope
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called what?
continental slope
Why does the ocean floor slope down?
the tides
What is the rate of change between any two points on a line?
it is the same as the slope, which can be found either graphically (rise over run) or algebraically using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
What is the meaning of m in slope?
In slope intercept form, m IS the slope. y = mx + b slope is change in height divided by change in x direction.
Some lines have no slope?
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero.
