there is really no depth because continental rise is only little pieces of sediment.

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 do the continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form?

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin. The continental margin is the transition zone between the continent and the deep ocean basin.


What continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form the?

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise together form the continental margin. The continental margin is the submerged edge of a continent that consists of these three distinct but connected features.


What do The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form the?

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin, which is the submerged outer edge of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the deep ocean floor.


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.
