The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form the?
The continental shelf is basically an extension of a continent into an ocean. It is underwater during interglacial periods (such as today) but dry during glacial periods. The continental slope is the sloping area between the continental shelf and the continental rise (where the continental plate meets the oceanic plate). The continental shelf and the continental slope together are called the continental margin. The continental rise is located at the bottom of the continental slope and is formed by the accumulation of sediment from the continent. Past the continental rise lies the abyssal plain which is the flat ocean floor.
