Question

examples of continental shelf​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Continental shelves were formed in between glacial periods as the ocean flowed over the continents forming shallow areas along the coasts. About 18,000 years ago, during the height of the Pleistocene ice ages, much of what is now a continental shelf was actually above water.
• Along parts of the U.S. state of California, for example, the continental shelf extends less than a kilometer (. 62 miles). But along the northern coast of Siberia, the shelf extends about 1,290 kilometers (800 miles).
