Question

Accumulation of silt is less in continental slope

Answer 1

The continental slope is a steep downward slope and hence, accumulation of silt is less. Silt slides further to the lower level, called the continental rise, which gradually becomes one with the deep ocean floor, called the abyssal plain.

The sea floor below the continental shelf (part of the continent covered by shallow sea), at a point called the ‘shelf break’, slopes downward gradually and forms the continental slope.
