The continental rise is located?
between an abyssal plain and continental slope.
What is made of sediment and located at the bottom of the continental slope?
The accumulation of sediment at the bottom of a continental slope is referred to as continental rise. This phenomenon occurs in oceans throughout the world.
The continental shelf continental slope and continental rise combine to form the?
The continental shelf is basically an extension of a continent into an ocean. It is underwater during interglacial periods (such as today) but dry during glacial periods. The continental slope is the sloping area between the continental shelf and the continental rise (where the continental plate meets the oceanic plate). The continental shelf and the continental slope together are called the continental margin. The continental rise is located at the bottom of the continental slope and is formed by the accumulation of sediment from the continent. Past the continental rise lies the abyssal plain which is the flat ocean floor.
What is the temperature in the continental rise?
how much light does the continental rise
Do active continental margins have a continental rise?
no.
The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise to form the?

List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?

The oceanic crust begins at the continental shelf or rise?
The oceanic crust begins at the continental rise
Which portion of the continental margin where the continental shelf ends?
continental rise
What lies at the base of the continental slope?

What is true about passive continental margins?
They have a continental rise
