Question

put the following parts of the ocean floor in order from least to greatest depth: abyssal plain, continental shelf, mid-ocean ridge, trench, continental slope.

Answer 1

Schematic overview of the transition between the continent and ocean: A = continent; B = continental shelf; C = slope; D = continental level; E = ocean (Abyssal Plain).

I hope I gave you the answer one time!

Answer 2

Answer:

From the least depth to the greatest depth, the following features are arranged-

(1) Continental Shelf

(2) Continental Slope

(3) Continental Rise

(4) Abyssal Plain

(5) Mid Oceanic Ridge

(6) Trench

Explanation:

Continental shelf- It is the top portion of the ocean floor, which ranges from the edge of the continent up to a depth of about 200 meters.

Continental slope- It is the second portion of the ocean layer that ranges from a depth of about 200 meters up to about 2000 meters.

Continental rise- It is present below the continental slope and here it slightly rises ranging in depth from about 2000 to 4000 meters below the mean sea level.

Abyssal plain- It lies below the Continental rise, extending from about 4000 to 6000 meters below the sea level.

Mid oceanic ridge- It forms the deeper portion of the ocean floor, extending from about 6000 to 8000 meters below the sea level.

Trench- It forms the deepest portion of the ocean body where sunlight cannot reach. It is dark and ranges its height from about 8000 meters and beyond that.
