There are seven main geological forces that shape the planet Earth. These forces are Aeolian processes, biological processes, fluvial processes, glacial processes, hill slope processes, igneous processes, and tectonic processes.
continental slope
The Continental Slope. It's more correct to compare it to the coasts, for the Continental Shelf and Slope are part of the continents - they are simply submerged by present sea-level. In other words, the Continental Slope outlines are the outlines of the continents.
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.

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.

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.
