Yes, the continental slope drops downward to the edge of the continent at which point it plummets down for the depth of the continental plate. It depends upon whom you speak with, but a nation's boundary is generally considered 200 miles beyond that.

Where does the continental slope begin?
At the shoreline
What is the general direction of lines with a negative slope?
downward as they proceed from left to right across a graph
How do you determine if an equation represents an upward slope?
If you look at the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b), and the m is positive, then the line will have an upward slope (ex. y=8x+2) if the m is negative the line will have a downward slope (ex. y=-9x+6).
Are 4 and -4 the same slope?
8
When the points on a graph tend to go downward from left to right you say that they indicate?
A negative slope. a decrease, a fall, etc.
The continental slope drops downward dramatically and is considered a boundary line true or false?
TRUE
Does the continental slope drops downward dramatically and is it considered a boundary line?
Yes, the continental slope descends steeply from the continental shelf into the deep ocean floor. It marks the boundary between the continental crust and the oceanic crust.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the?
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the lithosphere. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It separates the less dense continental crust from the more dense oceanic crust below.
What is the Steep boundary between the continental landmass and the ocean basin?
the answer to the question is: continental slope
Which portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust?
The portion of the continental margin that serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust is called the continental shelf. This is the shallowest part of the margin, located between the shoreline and the continental slope.
Which portion of continental Margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust?
continental slope
Which portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and continental crust?
continental slope
What is the place where the ocean floor suddenly plunges downward called?
CONTINENTAL SLOPE
The place where the ocean Floor suddenly plunges downward is called the?
continental slope
The place where the ocean floor suddenly plunges downward is called the A. continental shelf. B. continental slope. C. abyssal plain. D. abyssal hill.?
The answer is: B. Continental slope.
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.
The shelf edge is the boundary between the continental shelf and the?
continental slope, where the sea floor steeply drops off to deeper ocean depths. It marks the transition from shallow continental waters to the deeper oceanic realm.
