Q: The depth of the continental slope region varies between ……….
  • A. 1-10 m
  • B. 200 – 3000 m
  • C. 100 – 200 m
  • D. 10 – 100 m
Correct Answer: Option B - The depth of the continental slope region varies between 200 and 3,000 m. The continental slope connects the continental shelf and the ocean basins. It begins where the bottom of the continental shelf sharply drops off into a steep slope. The gradient of the slope region varies between 2°-5°.
