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.
Downward motion is defined as the movement of one's center of gravity towards the performance surface.
PPC curve slopes downward for the efficient resouress of another commidty

The maximum.
TRUE
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.

A syncline is a downward fold in rock layers where the youngest rocks are in the center and the oldest rocks are towards the edges. It forms a U shape, with the limbs of the fold dipping towards the center.
The part of a continent that dips gently downward and is underwater is called the continental shelf. When a continent drops steeply in to the ocean it is called a continental slope.
CONTINENTAL SLOPE

continental slope
A convergent plate boundary is caused by a downward convection current in the mantle. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other, resulting in subduction zones or collision zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other.
The continental shelf
The answer is: B. Continental slope.
The force pushing upward on the continental crust is isostatic rebound, caused by the buoyancy of the less dense continental crust floating on the denser mantle. The downward force is from the weight of the overlying rock and sediments, as well as tectonic forces like subduction or compression.
