The slope is the steep transitional area between the shelf and rise. The continental slope depth for the Atlantic Ocean is 3900 meters or in other words 12800 feet.
What else can I help you with?
Slope mining is used for deeply buried mineral deposite?
No, if the minerals are deep, slope mining is not possible.
What are slope canyons?
Slope canyons are narrow, deep channels carved into the seafloor on the continental slope. They are typically formed by a combination of erosional processes like underwater landslides, turbidity currents, and the movement of sediment down the continental slope. Slope canyons play a crucial role in transporting sediment and nutrients from the continental shelf to the deep ocean.
Who was put in charge of the Continintal army in June 1775?
George Washington.
What group was organized to fight against great Britain?
Continintal Army
What factors increase the speed of a river?
steep slope and deep streambed
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called what?
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called a continental slope. This feature marks the boundary between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
What Is An Island Slope?
An island slope is analogous to a continental slope, but it is attached to an oceanic island (volcano) rather than attached to a continent. In simple terms, it is that portion of the sea floor that slopes from an island's shallows down to the deep ocean floor.
Can you show me a picture of the continental slope?
I'm unable to show you a picture directly, but I can describe the continental slope to you. The continental slope is the steeply sloping transition between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor. It is typically located at depths of around 200 to 2,000 meters and marks the beginning of the oceanic crust. The slope is often characterized by submarine canyons and sediment deposits as it descends into the abyssal plain.
What can occur next to the continental shelf?
Beyond the continental shelf, the seafloor drops off abruptly into the deep ocean, forming the continental slope. This slope extends down to the abyssal plain, which makes up a large part of the ocean floor. The abyssal plain is characterized by flat, sediment-covered expanses that are home to a variety of deep-sea organisms.
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called what?
A sharp drop-off beyond the continental shelf is called a continental slope. The continental slope marks the transition between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
The relatively steep transition between the continental shelf and the ocean basin is the continental slope?
Yes, the continental slope is the relatively steep slope that connects the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor. It marks the boundary between the continental crust and oceanic crust.
What is the gently slope submerged surface extending from the shoreline toward the deep ocean called?
It is called The Continental Shelf.
