This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
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 is the ocean zone that covers the continental shelf?
The zone of ocean under shelf and continental slope are continental.
What is the continental slope depth of the Atlantic ocean?
20,000 to 30,000 thousand miles
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.
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
Between the continental slope and the ocean basin is the continental rise
What is the Steep boundary between the continental landmass and the ocean basin?
the answer to the question is: continental slope
The relatively steep transition between the continental shelf and the ocean basin is the?
the continental slope
What is it called when there is a sharp drop between the continent and ocean basin?
continental slope
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called what?
continental slope
Can best be described as a transition zone between an ocean basin floor and a continent?
The continental rise or slope otherwise known as a "shelf edge".
What are underwater landforms?
The Underwater landforms are the continentalshelf ,continental slope , continental rise , sea mounts , mid-ocean ridge ,abyssal plain , trench , and basin.
What is the deep steep side valley that originate on the continental slope and may extend to the ocean basin floor called?
Submarine Canyons
What is a deep steep sided valleys that originate on the continental slope and may extend to the ocean basin floor is called?
Submarine Canyons
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 are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
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.
