What else can I help you with?
Does the gulf stream flow over the continental shelf or the continental slope?
continental shelf
A deep ditch carved over by running water?
It's a gully. Rills are smaller ditches cut by running water, but can be plowed over. Once the ditch is so deep it can't be plowed over, it's a gully.
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
In the 1930s the theory of continental drift was formed?
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
Why do we have a water cycle?
to recycle the water over and over again.
Region of shallow ocean water over the continental shelf?
neritic
Does the gulf stream flow over the continental shelf or the continental slope?
continental shelf
What are the Rights in the continental shelf?
A continental shelf is an area where a country has some exclusive rights i e exploration of natural resources ,it can construct structures , it has also sovereignty over the water body.Other country only can cruse through without permission of concern country.It constitutes at the beginning of the sea up to the 350 km and it goes until the shelf drifts to deep bottom of sea.Hossain

sublittoral
What is below the low-tide line and out over the continental shelf?
neritic zone
What is Distance from shore zone that is over the continental shelf?
Neritic Zone

What type of rocks are found in a continental shelf?
The rocks found in a continental shelf are often sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, shale, and limestone. These rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments on the ocean floor over long periods of time. Additionally, some continental shelves may also have igneous rocks brought up from volcanic activity.
How did the continental shelf form?
I don't know. I wonder myself. But here's a simplistic guess: ... take the east coast of the USA. North America basically split apart from Europe/Africa. The Atlantic trench keeps bringing magma/lava up to the ocean floor, pushing Europe/Africa and the Americas further apart from each other. Maybe the end of the continental shelf is the location where Pangaea split apart? Forming a deep hole, which has stretched out further and further and covers most of the Atlantic. So the shelf could easily be above sea level, or maybe it was at one time in the past? I don't know why continents have plains above sea level while the oceans have plains *so much* lower in altitude, nor do I know why sea level is at a very close level to the continental shelf.
A deep ditch carved over time by running water is called what?
A deep ditch carved over time by running water is called a ravine.
What is a neritic zone ecosystem?
A huge variety of organisms are found here. The shallow water over the continental shelf receives sunlight and a steady supply of nutrients washed from the land into the ocean. Kelp forests and Coral reefs.
