प्रश्न
Give geographical reasons:
The continental slope is considered to be the boundary of continents.
उत्तर
The continental slope is the transitional region connecting the continental shelf and the ocean basin. It begins after the extent of the continental shelf is over with a steep slope. The continental crust (30km) is thicker than oceanic crust (7-10km), thus continental slope is considered to be the boundary of continents.
