The continental shelf, continental slop and the ocean floor
The depth of the continental slope in the Indian Ocean can vary, but on average it ranges from about 600 to 6,000 feet (180 to 1,800 meters). This steeply sloping region connects the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor of the abyssal plain.
The ocean zone that covers the continental shelf is called the neritic zone. It extends from the shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf, which is typically around 200 meters deep. This zone is characterized by high levels of sunlight, nutrients, and biodiversity.
continental slope. :)
The slope is the steep incline at the edge of the continental shelf that descends into the ocean depths. The continental shelf is a gently sloping, submerged portion of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the shelf break where the slope begins.
No the shelf is among the shallowest parts of the ocean.
