What is the gently sloping submerged surface extending from the shoreline to the deep ocean?
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.
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 ocean zone that covers the continental shelf?
The zone of ocean under shelf and continental slope are continental.
What area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
continental rises
What does the continental slope look like?
Ocean floor from the edge of the continental shelf to the continental rise
How deep is the continintal slope?
The slope is the steep transitional area between the shelf and rise. The continental slope depth for the Atlantic Ocean is 3900 meters or in other words 12800 feet.
What is the depth of the continental slope in the Indian ocean?
The depth of the Indian Ocean's continental slope is 4,000 meters Edward loves bella. SO MUCH. They had baby named skye

What feature in the Atlantic Ocean has the same shape as the continents surrounding it?
The Continental Slope. It's more correct to compare it to the coasts, for the Continental Shelf and Slope are part of the continents - they are simply submerged by present sea-level. In other words, the Continental Slope outlines are the outlines of the continents.
What are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
How is pacific coast different from the Atlantic coast?
As a general rule the water in the Pacific Ocean is colder than the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the Pacific coast has better waves for Surfing due to a narrower continental shelf, a steeper continental slope and inward prevailing winds. Another difference is that the Atlantic Ocean is deeper than the Pacific Ocean

A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called what?
continental slope
What is the ocean zone that covers the continental shelf?
The zone of ocean under shelf and continental slope are continental.
The Ocean has more extensive abyssal plains than the Pacific Ocean because it has fewer trenches to trap sediments moving down the continental slope?
This is not a question but an anwer
