The <em>continental rise</em> found underneath the ocean is a representative of the final stage in the boundary that exists between the lowest part of the ocean and the continents.
It is located between the <em>continental slope and the abyssal plain</em> and contains silts, sands, muds, and sediments.
It is a part of the continental margin which also contains the continental shelf and the continental slope.<em> This continental slope merges into a gradual incline which is the continental rise.</em>
