Continental Slope

Explanation:

  • The transitional zone between the continental shelf and the ocean basin is known as the continental slope.
  • Because the continental crust (30 kilometres) is thicker than the oceanic crust (7-10 kilometres), the continental slope is regarded the continents' boundary..
  • The slope has the lowest gradient near stable beaches with few significant rivers and the highest gradient off coasts with young mountain ranges and narrow continental shelves.
  • Under the continental slope, the transition from continental to oceanic crust frequently occurs.
  • Beyond the shelf-slope break, the continental crust thins quickly, and the upward push lies in part at the continental crust and in part at the oceanic crust of the deep sea
