when was one of these is not a part of he continental margin?
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.
