No, it isn't.

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.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
The continental slope is the area of the ocean floor in which gently drops and is connected to the oceanic crust and continental shelf. This slope is caused by waves within the ocean.
The slope is the steep incline at the edge of the continental shelf that descends into the ocean depths. The continental shelf is a gently sloping, submerged portion of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the shelf break where the slope begins.

The continental shelf typically extends from the coastline to a depth of about 200 meters (656 feet) and can stretch for several hundred kilometers offshore, depending on the geographical area. Its width varies significantly around the world, with some shelves being quite narrow and others, like the Siberian shelf, extending up to 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) from the shore. Beyond the shelf, the ocean floor drops steeply into the continental slope and then into the deep ocean basin.
The seaward edge of the continental shelf is marked by the shelf break, which is the steep slope that descends from the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor. This is where the ocean depth abruptly increases, indicating the boundary between the continental shelf and the continental slope.

Continental shelf
The pressure on the continental shelf increases with water depth, generally following the principle that pressure increases by approximately one atmosphere (about 14.7 psi or 101.3 kPa) for every 10 meters of water depth. Given that continental shelves typically range from 0 to 200 meters in depth, the pressure at the seafloor can vary from about 1 to 20 atmospheres. However, the specific pressure at any point on the continental shelf depends on its exact depth and local environmental conditions.

actually,the continental shelf is roughly 3,000,000 m. long
The average width of the continental shelf is about 80 km or 50 miles. The Shelf descends steeply down to the continental rise before reaching the ocean floor.
The transition between the shelf and the deep seafloor is known as the continental slope. This area is characterized by a steep descent from the continental shelf to the deep ocean, usually at a depth of around 200 meters to 2,000 meters.
The continental shelf varies in depth depending on location, but on average it is around 200 meters deep. It can extend hundreds of kilometers from the shoreline before dropping off into deeper water.
