Answer

Relatively steep

Explanation:

The continental margin , between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope, surrounded by the flatter continental rise , in which sediment from the continent above cascades down the slope and accumulates as a pile of sediment at the base of the slope.

  • It constitutes of hard, rigid and outer skins of earth. On lithosphere, the entire biosphere that's the life sphere is based. There are two types of lithosphere i.e oceanic and continental the oceanic has a <u>density of 2.9 grams,  and crust on land has 2.7 grams</u>.
  • Composition Of oceanic lithosphere is of mafic and ultramafic. The asthenosphere is a layer that forms underneath this zone and is in liquid molten forms. This also divided into three zones the upper zone, transition zone, and lower zone.
  • Melting of rock mass takes place in this layer as it has a depth of 2900 km and the boundary is defined by stress zone that deforms easily and has elasticity. Most of the earthquake waves and lava plums come out of this zone. It's composed of heavier metals like Iron and Aluminium, nickel, etc.

Effectus [21]

Thee  true statement is that Earthquake magnitude is based on ground motion recorded by a seismograph; intensity is based on the amount of damage produced.

<h3>How is the magnitude of an earthquake known by a seismograph?</h3>

The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is known to be seen through the use of the logarithm of the amplitude of waves as recorded by a seismographs.

The different Adjustments rates are included for the variation that exist between  the distance from various seismographs and the epicenter of the earthquakes.
