Steep area between continental shelf and ocean floor?
The steep area between the continental shelf and the ocean floor is called the continental margin. A continental margin is usually composed of a steep continental slope that is followed by the flatter continental rise.
How are the continental shelf slope and rise related?
The continental shelf, slope, and rise are all part of the continental margin. The continental shelf is the flat, shallow portion closest to the shore, followed by the continental slope, which descends steeply to the ocean floor. The continental rise is a gentle incline at the base of the continental slope. These features are connected and represent the transition from the continent to the deep ocean basin.
