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.


What is a passive continental rise?

A passive continental rise is a gentle slope between the continental slope and the deep ocean floor. It is formed by sediments that accumulate from the erosional processes on the continental slope. The sediments typically consist of finer grains such as silt and clay.


The slant of a line on a graph is called?

the slope.


What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?

A continental rise forms where the continental slope levels off, and sediment accumulates due to gravity transporting sediments downslope from the slope above. This is a gentle accumulation of sediments deposited by turbidity currents, rivers, and other geological processes at the base of the slope.


Is slant the same as slope?

The answer is that they are diffrent


What are two different origins for the continental rise?

Two different origins for the continental rise are turbidity currents depositing sediments at the base of the continental slope, forming a wedge-shaped accumulation, and sediment transported by rivers accumulating at the continental margin, leading to the gradual build-up of a gentle slope.

What is the underwater edge of a continent called?

You can't have a continent rise from land, but you can have land rise from the continental shelf, which may be under water, and that is called an island.
