I'm unable to show you a picture directly, but I can describe the continental slope to you. The continental slope is the steeply sloping transition between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor. It is typically located at depths of around 200 to 2,000 meters and marks the beginning of the oceanic crust. The slope is often characterized by submarine canyons and sediment deposits as it descends into the abyssal plain.
What else can I help you with?
The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form what?
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called what?
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called a continental slope. The continental slope marks the transition between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
Which of the following is NOT a continental margin continental shelf continental slope?
A continental margin is NOT a part of a continent. It is the submerged outer edge of a continent that includes the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise.
The relatively steep transition between the continental shelf and the ocean basin is the continental slope?
Yes, the continental slope is the relatively steep slope that connects the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor. It marks the boundary between the continental crust and oceanic crust.
Describe the subdivisions of the continental margin?
The continental margin consists of three main subdivisions: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. The continental shelf is the shallow, gently sloping portion closest to the shore. The continental slope is the steeper portion that connects the shelf to the deep ocean floor. The continental rise is the transition zone between the slope and the deep ocean basin, where sediments accumulate.
Location of continental slope?
continental slope
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.
The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form what?
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
What are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
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.
Does continental shelf has slope?
Yes, the continental shelf does have a slope, although it is generally very gentle. The slope leads down to the continental slope, which is a steeper gradient that marks the transition to the deep ocean floor. The continental shelf typically extends from the coastline to the shelf break, where the slope begins. Overall, the slope of the continental shelf is crucial for marine ecosystems and resource distribution.
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called what?
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called a continental slope. The continental slope marks the transition between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
Which of the following is NOT a continental margin continental shelf continental slope?
A continental margin is NOT a part of a continent. It is the submerged outer edge of a continent that includes the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise to form the?
continental margin
What is the difference between continental shelf and slope?
The continental shelf is a flattish area which extends from the shore out into the ocean and is made of continental crust. This ends in a slope (the continental slope) which descends to the abyssal plane, which is made of oceanic crust.
What is a steep slope that begins connected to the continental shelf and extends to the abyssal plain is called?
Continental slope
How do continental slope and continental shelf form?
Abrasion
