What is separates the continental shelf from the ocean floor?

When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
The place where the ocean floor suddenly plunges downward is called the A. continental shelf. B. continental slope. C. abyssal plain. D. abyssal hill.?
The answer is: B. Continental slope.
Why is the earth 4.6 billion years old but the oldest sea floor is only 180 millions years old?
Just as new sea floor forms at mid-ocean ridges, new sea floor is forced back into the mantle at abduction zones. The oldest seafloor is at east and west the edges of the Atlantic Ocean, dating to the breakup of Pangaea.
What are the three regions of the ocean floor?
the continental Margin, Ocean Basin Floor and Mid-Ocean ridge :D

What covers that Atlantic Ocean's continental margin?
The Atlantic ocean.
What are the 3 main regions of the ocean floor?
The three main regions of the ocean floor are the continental margins, the ocean basins, and the mid-ocean ridges. Continental margins are the shallow, submerged edges of continents. Ocean basins are the deeper areas of the ocean floor beyond the continental margins. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates move apart and magma rises to create new oceanic crust.
What is separates the continental shelf from the ocean floor?
continental slope. :)
Description about topography of ocean floor?
The relationship between the existence of the plume influence and ocean floor topography.
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.
What are the three primary topographic profiles of the ocean floor?
Continental shelf Continental slope abyss/abyssal plain

the continental Margin, Ocean Basin Floor and Mid-Ocean ridge :D
The Ocean zone that covers the continental shelf is?
abbysal zone
What covers the ocean floor?
sand (sometimes shells)
