Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
As a general rule the water in the Pacific Ocean is colder than the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the Pacific coast has better waves for Surfing due to a narrower continental shelf, a steeper continental slope and inward prevailing winds. Another difference is that the Atlantic Ocean is deeper than the Pacific Ocean

Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called a continental slope. This feature marks the boundary between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
The zone of ocean under shelf and continental slope are continental.
