What are some animals that live by the continental slope?

Some animals that live by the continental slope include deep-sea fish like anglerfish and lanternfish, bottom-dwelling creatures like sea cucumbers and sea stars, and pelagic species such as whales and dolphins that may traverse the slope in search of food. These animals have adapted to the unique pressures and conditions found in the deep ocean environment along the continental slope.


What is a continental slope?

The continental slope is the area between the offshore shallows out to where the continental shelf dips steeply to the sea floor. It connects those two areas. The continental shelf is where the shallow waters of the ocean meet the shore. Farther out, the water gets progressively deeper, and this is the continental slope. At the outer edge of the continental slope, the bottom drops sharply away and plunges to the deep ocean. The Wikipedia article has more information and some drawings and diagrams. A link is provided. The steep slopingpart of the ocean floor termination of continental shelves is called continental slope.


Does the continental slope contain rich oil fields?

The continental slope can contain oil fields, but not always. Oil deposits form in specific geological conditions, and while some continental slopes may have rich oil reserves, others may not have significant amounts of oil. It ultimately depends on the history and characteristics of the sedimentary basins associated with that particular continental slope.

All the under water sea creatures?

If you mean, "are all under water creatures, sea creatures?" then no. The term SEA is for the ocean and there also can be creatures in freshwater.
