Geography

Answer:

The Continental margin is the zone of transition between a continent and the adjacent ocean basin floor.

Explanation:

The continental margin is located in the ocean and it is a relatively shallow water area found in proximity to a continent. There are three different features to the continental margin: the continental rise, the continental slope, and the continental shelf.  Continental margins that are on the edges of tectonic plates are usually narrow. They will have steep continental slopes. In the case of such continental margins that are on edges of tectonic plates like the Pacific Rim, there are continental rises that are either poorly developed or not perceptible at all.

Orlov [11]

Answer: Convergent boundaries or subduction zones are where two plates collide into each other. These are the most common type of tectonic plate along the Pacific Ring of Fire. But continents don’t always collide with oceans. Sometimes, continents collide with other continents, which is part of the formation of mountains.

Explanation: Hope this helped! :)
