False, the average depth of the continental shelf is approximately 150 meters.

Explanation:  

  • The horizontal floor of the sea that extends from the line of the shore to that of the upper slope is known as the continental shelf.
  • This creates the very margin of the basics of the deep ocean. The degree of slope limits its lower margin where it is known as the break of the shelf.
  • The entire continental shelf has a minute slope and the width is approximately 70 kilometers.
  • The ocean that is present just above the continental shelf is known by all as the neritic water.
