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.
Is the arabian plate continental or oceanic?
The Arabian Plate is considered a continental plate. It mainly consists of continental crust and is part of the larger African Plate.
Which type of crust typically comprises the continental margin?
The continental margin typically consists of a combination of continental crust that extends from the shoreline to the continental shelf's outer edge, where it transitions into oceanic crust of the ocean basin.
What does the continental margin consist of?
The continental margin is the zone of ocean floor that separates oceanic crust and continental crust. It accounts for 28% of all oceanic area.
Describe the continental shelf slope and rise?
continental margin

What are some features of the continental shelf?
The continental shelf is the border of any of the continents that extends out and down to the ocean floor. It consists of slopes, rises and underwater canyons.
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
The area you are referring to is known as the continental rise. It is located at the base of the continental slope and consists of a thick accumulation of sediments that have been transported down from the continent. The continental rise marks the transition between the continental margin and the deep ocean basin.
What Geographic region consists of flatlands increasing in elevation?
i think its the Canadian Sheild or the Interior Lowlands
when was one of these is not a part of he continental margin?
The continental margin consists of the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise. One feature that is not part of the continental margin is the abyssal plain, which lies deeper in the ocean and beyond the continental rise. The abyssal plain represents the flat, deep-sea floor that extends across the ocean basins, while the continental margin is specifically associated with the transition from land to ocean.
Describe the subdivisions of the continental margin?
The continental margin consists of three main subdivisions: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. The continental shelf is the shallow, gently sloping portion closest to the shore. The continental slope is the steeper portion that connects the shelf to the deep ocean floor. The continental rise is the transition zone between the slope and the deep ocean basin, where sediments accumulate.
Does the Hudson Bay sit on top of continental or oceanic crust?
The Hudson Bay sits on top of both the continental and oceanic crust.
