What forces control the shape of Continental slope?

The shape of the continental slope is primarily controlled by gravitational forces, erosion by currents and waves, and tectonic processes such as subsidence and uplift. These forces work together to shape the steep boundary between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.

How the earth got its shape?

The Earth's shape is due to its gravitational forces and rotation. These forces compress the planet slightly at the poles and bulge at the equator, creating an oblate spheroid shape. The Earth's shape is a result of a balance between these gravitational forces and its spinning motion.


What are the forces that shape the earth?

The two internal forces that shape the earth are volcanoes forcing magma through the crust and changes in the crust through forces like collisions.
