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
Downward.
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 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.
True. In the context of physics, downward velocity is typically assigned a negative direction because it is opposite to the positive direction conventionally chosen as the upward direction.
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 shelf
continental slope
The continental shelf
The answer is: B. Continental slope.
The geologic edge of a continent is typically defined by the continental shelf, which is the submerged part of the continent that slopes downward into the ocean basin. This transition from the continental shelf to the deep ocean is called the continental slope.
