Describe the subdivisions of the continental margin?
The subdivisions of the continenetal mmarging is the continental Slope, Continental Shelf and 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 correct order of features on the continental margin moving from land out to sea?
land -> continental shelf -> continental slope -> continental rise -> 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.
How is the slope different from the continental shelf?
Continental shelf is an undersea extension of a continent. Continental slope connects the continental shelf to the abyssal plain.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise to form the?
continental margin
What are Parts of the continental margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
Differences between exclusive economic zone and continental shelf zone?
Same area: Lower part is continental shelf whereas the upper part is exclusive economic zone. Seabed or Subsoil is covered in continental shelf whereas above that is exclusive economic zone.

List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
What is the difference between the continental slope and the continental rise?
The continental shelf starts from the shore to a few miles out with less gradient of slope. The continental slope starts after shelf-break with a higher slope gradient, then follows the continental rise and abyssal-plain.

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 order of marine provinces?
Continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise and abyssal plain. The first three make up the continental margin.
What is a sandy gently sloping underwater plain near a continent?
The continental margin is the submerged outer edge of a continent. It is generally divided into two sections: the continental shelf and the continental slope.
