The continental shelf begins at the shoreline and extends underwater to a depth of about 200 meters, where it gradually slopes down to the continental slope. This region is characterized by relatively shallow waters and is rich in marine life, making it a vital area for fishing and resource extraction. The shelf plays a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and provides important habitat for various species. Beyond the shelf lies the deeper ocean floor, which is part of the continental rise and abyssal plain.
