Continental Slopes.
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.
On an active continental margin, you would be likely to find an active ocean trench. This structure would generally not occur at a passive continental margin.
No, the continental margin of Fort Myers is not considered an active continental margin. Active continental margins are typically associated with tectonic activity, such as subduction zones or plate boundaries, which are not present in the area surrounding Fort Myers.
I suppose that it is a part of friction between two continental plates.
In an active continental margin, the continental slope is typically more pronounced, and the continental rise is often absent or minimal. This is because active margins are associated with tectonic plate boundaries, where subduction occurs, leading to steep, rugged coastlines and a lack of sediment accumulation that would typically form a continental rise. Instead, the ocean floor is characterized by deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.

A continental margin is NOT a part of a continent. It is the submerged outer edge of a continent that includes the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise.
the margin of the continental
The portion of the continental margin that serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust is called the continental shelf. This is the shallowest part of the margin, located between the shoreline and the continental slope.
TheNeritic Zone
On a passive continental margin, you can find thick sedimentary layers, wide continental shelves, and less seismic activity compared to an active continental margin.
Passive continental margin.
Australia is the lowest/flattest continent in the world.
On an active continental margin, you would be likely to find an active ocean trench. This structure would generally not occur at a passive continental margin.
The continental margin is the zone of the ocean floor that separates the thin oceanic crust from thick continental crust.
