The tip of the continental shelf (which has a gentle slope) where if you go any farther, the continental slope forms, which has a very steep slope.
You can't have a continent rise from land, but you can have land rise from the continental shelf, which may be under water, and that is called an island.

Edge of the ocean floor
The continental margin is the submerged outer edge of a continent. It is generally divided into two sections: the continental shelf and the continental slope.
the top part of the boundary it creates the the deep ocean trench along with the edge of a continent......:D
The chunks of lithosphere that are scraped off of subducting plates and added to the edge of a continent are called accreted terranes!

continental shelf
The edge of a continent is called the continental shelf. It is the submerged part of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the continental slope where the ocean floor drops off sharply.
continental shelf
The continental shelf edge is an area that is located at the edge of an underwater landmass. This landmass extends out from a continent and has a relatively shallow area of water which is often referred to as the shelf sea.
It is called the Continental Shelf
the continental shelf
The submerged land at the edge of a continent is called the continental shelf. It is an underwater landmass that extends from the shoreline to the continental slope.

Continental Shelves
The continental margin is the submerged outer edge of a continent. It is generally divided into two sections: the continental shelf and the continental slope.
The part of a continent that dips gently downward and is underwater is called the continental shelf. When a continent drops steeply in to the ocean it is called a continental slope.
