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
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.
