What is the continental slope depth for the pacific ocean?
1,200,Barrels
How is pacific coast different from the Atlantic coast?
As a general rule the water in the Pacific Ocean is colder than the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the Pacific coast has better waves for Surfing due to a narrower continental shelf, a steeper continental slope and inward prevailing winds. Another difference is that the Atlantic Ocean is deeper than the Pacific Ocean

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 are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
What area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
The area between the continental slope and the ocean basin is known as the continental rise. It is a gradual incline where sediments transported from the continental shelf and slope accumulate before settling in the abyssal plain of the ocean basin.
What is separates the continental shelf from the ocean floor?
continental slope. :)
The Ocean has more extensive abyssal plains than the Pacific Ocean because it has fewer trenches to trap sediments moving down the continental slope?
This is not a question but an anwer
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.
This area is between the continental slope and ocean basin?
The area you are referring to is known as the continental rise. It is located at the base of the continental slope and consists of a thick accumulation of sediments that have been transported down from the continent. The continental rise marks the transition between the continental margin and the deep ocean basin.
What are the three primary topographic profiles of the ocean floor?
Continental shelf Continental slope abyss/abyssal plain
How are the continental shelf slope and rise related?
The continental shelf, slope, and rise are all part of the continental margin. The continental shelf is the flat, shallow portion closest to the shore, followed by the continental slope, which descends steeply to the ocean floor. The continental rise is a gentle incline at the base of the continental slope. These features are connected and represent the transition from the continent to the deep ocean basin.
