What is the continental slope depth for the pacific ocean?
1,200,Barrels
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
How is pacific coast different from the Atlantic coast?
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.
