What is the continental slope depth of the Atlantic ocean?
The average depth of the continental slope in the Atlantic Ocean is around 700 to 2,000 meters (2,300 to 6,560 feet). It can vary depending on the specific location and geological features in the region.
List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form what?
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
What are the five sections ocean life?
Continental slope, Continental Rise, Continental Slope, Seamont, Trench
What is the difference between the continental slope and the continental rise?
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.
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.
Which of the following is NOT a continental margin continental shelf continental slope?
A continental margin is NOT a part of a continent. It is the submerged outer edge of a continent that includes the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise to form the?
continental margin
What is the difference between continental shelf and slope?
The continental shelf is a flattish area which extends from the shore out into the ocean and is made of continental crust. This ends in a slope (the continental slope) which descends to the abyssal plane, which is made of oceanic crust.
What lies at the base of the continental slope?
continental rise
The continental slope is located at the end of the?
Continental shelf.
How do continental slope and continental shelf form?
Abrasion
