Answer;

Continental margin

Explanation;

-Continental margin is the section of the ocean is composed of the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise.

-The continental margin is that portion of the ocean that separates the continents from the deep ocean floor. The continental margin is usually subdivided into three major sections: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. In addition to these sections, one of the most important features of the continental margin is the presence of very large submarine canyons that cut their way through the continental slope and, less commonly, the continental shelf.

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the <span>continental margin</span><span>.

</span>The continental shelf is the portion of the land mass that extends into ocean water.

Continental slope begins where the continental shelf ends. It does exactly what its name implies and serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust.

The continental slope divides the continental and oceanic crusts. Over a period of time, soil, rocks, and debris wash down the steep sides of a continental slope due to the influence of gravity. They pile up at the bottom of the slope and form a small ridge called continental rise.

What is the name given to the initial 150 counts in 2 minutes?
Whitepunk [10]

Divide CFU of Dilution. Divide the CFU of the dilution (the number of colonies you counted) by the result from step 4. For this example, you work out 46 ÷ 1/1000, which is the same as 46 x 1,000. The result is 46,000 CFU in the original sample.
