What is the difference between the continental slope and the continental rise?

The continental shelf starts from the shore to a few miles out with less gradient of slope.
The continental slope starts after shelf-break with a higher slope gradient, then follows the continental rise and abyssal-plain.

∙ 12y agoYes. The continental rise is the deepest portion of the continental margin (shelf and slope). The underwater continental shelf extends from the shore to the continental slope, the lower end of the slope being the continental rise, at which sediments can accumulate. Beyond this is the "abyssal plain" which is oceanic crust.

List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
What is a continental slope?
The continental slope is the area between the offshore shallows out to where the continental shelf dips steeply to the sea floor. It connects those two areas. The continental shelf is where the shallow waters of the ocean meet the shore. Farther out, the water gets progressively deeper, and this is the continental slope. At the outer edge of the continental slope, the bottom drops sharply away and plunges to the deep ocean. The Wikipedia article has more information and some drawings and diagrams. A link is provided. The steep slopingpart of the ocean floor termination of continental shelves is called continental slope.
Slopes equals rise over?
RUNRun.
What is The slope of a line is determined by using?
The slope of a line is determined using the coordinates of at least 2 points on the line. If you have 2 points (A, B) and (C, D), the slope of the line can be determined using the formula (B - D) / (A - C) or (D - B) / (C - A) which is essentially the difference of the y-coordinates divided by the difference of the x - coordinates. Alternately, you could think of it as "rise over run", the increase in height (change in y) between the two points over the horizontal distance traveled (change in x).
What is potential drop?
There is no difference between potential difference and potential drop. Both terms refer to the difference in voltage (i.e. potential) across a component. Depending on how you look at it, both terms can refer to positive or negative differences, i.e. drop, for instance, can be negative, implying a rise.
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
The continental rise is located?
between an abyssal plain and continental slope.
What does continental temperature mean?
The temperature of the continental rise is the temp of your dick

The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form the?
The continental shelf is basically an extension of a continent into an ocean. It is underwater during interglacial periods (such as today) but dry during glacial periods. The continental slope is the sloping area between the continental shelf and the continental rise (where the continental plate meets the oceanic plate). The continental shelf and the continental slope together are called the continental margin. The continental rise is located at the bottom of the continental slope and is formed by the accumulation of sediment from the continent. Past the continental rise lies the abyssal plain which is the flat ocean floor.
What lies at the base of the continental slope?
continental rise
What are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
Describe the continental shelf slope and rise?
continental margin
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise to form the?
continental margin
What is made of sediment and located at the bottom of the continental slope?
The accumulation of sediment at the bottom of a continental slope is referred to as continental rise. This phenomenon occurs in oceans throughout the world.
What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?
Continental rise is what occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates. Continental rise can be shallow or deep and can occur at any level.
