- Continental slope | Oceanography, Geology Topography | Britannica
Continental slope, seaward border of the continental shelf The world’s combined continental slope has a total length of approximately 300,000 km (200,000 miles) and descends at an average angle in excess of 4° from the shelf break at the edge of the continental shelf to the beginning of the ocean
- Continental shelf - Wikipedia
A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water, known as a shelf sea Much of these shelves were exposed by drops in sea level during glacial periods The shelf surrounding an island is known as an "insular shelf "
- continental shelf - National Geographic Society
A continental shelf extends from the coastline of a continent to a drop-off point called the shelf break From the break, the shelf descends toward the deep ocean floor in what is called the continental slope Even though they are underwater, continental shelves are part of the continent
- Continental shelf and slope | EBSCO Research Starters
The continental shelf and slope are significant features of the ocean's continental margins, acting as transition zones between land and the deep sea The continental shelf is a nearly flat area that extends from the coastline and slopes gently toward the ocean basins
- What Is A Continental Shelf? - WorldAtlas
A continental shelf is the edge of a continent lying beneath the ocean This shelf extends from the coastline of a continent to a drop off point called the shelf break The shelf break is where the underwater edge of a continent shelf begins to rapidly slope downwards towards the ocean floor depths
- Continental Shelves - Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas . . .
This activity shapes continental shelves around much of the Pacific Ocean, where shelves are often very narrow, so that sediment may get dumped into deep ocean trenches Continental shelves sometimes harbor portions of a continent’s mineral, oil or natural gas deposits
- Continental Slope - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A continental slope refers to the seafloor area between the shelf-slope break and the slope-rise break, where gravity-driven deep-water processes occur It is characterized by relatively gentle slopes and is influenced by various geological factors such as tectonics and sediment types
