The accumulation of sediment at the bottom of a continental slope is referred to as continental rise. This phenomenon occurs in oceans throughout the world.

What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?
Continental rise is what occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates. Continental rise can be shallow or deep and can occur at any level.
What does continental temperature mean?
The temperature of the continental rise is the temp of your dick
Flat seafloor in the deep ocean formed when deposits of sediment filled valleys?
continental slope
What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?
continental slope
What forms when sediment accumulates?
Sediment, or debris, is washed down the continental shelf and slope and settles on the continental rise. This accumulated sediment makes the slope of the continental rise more gradual and gentle than that of the continental slope

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.
What are the great heaps of unconsolidated sediment at the base of the continental slope are known as?

The continental slope is located at the end of the?
Continental shelf.

The continental rise is located?
between an abyssal plain and continental slope.
What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?

What kind of plants are located in the continental slope?
There are not many plants that live in the continental slope. One of the few plants that live here is algae.
