The continental margin is the zone of ocean floor that separates oceanic crust and continental crust. It accounts for 28% of all oceanic area.
Subduction. A subduction trench.
The abyssal plain is beyond the continental margin.
An active continental margin may have a trench.

There are two structures that would be found at a passive continental margin. These structures are continental shelves and continental slopes.

Passive continental margin.
On an active continental margin, you would be likely to find an active ocean trench. This structure would generally not occur at a passive continental margin.
The continental margin is the zone of the ocean floor that separates the thin oceanic crust from thick continental crust.
A continental margin is the zone of transition between a continent and the deep ocean floor. It includes the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise. It is an area where sediments from the continent are deposited and tectonic activity can occur.
