Seamounts are mountains that rise at least 1,000 meters from the ocean floor and are below the surface of the water. Seamounts form from extinct volcanos and range in height from 1,000 to 5,000 meters.

Continental Shelf, Continental Slope, Continental Rise, Abyssal Plain, Trench, Sea Mounts.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
The slope is the steep incline at the edge of the continental shelf that descends into the ocean depths. The continental shelf is a gently sloping, submerged portion of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the shelf break where the slope begins.
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 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.
