Explanation: This is called the shelf break. The continental shelf is characterized by a very gentle slope less than 1 degree. The average depth is about 150 m and it has an average width of 70 km. (wiki it)
Continental shelf is the sea bed region that is shallow as compared to the regions of open seas. These are very essential biologically as they get sufficient sunlight for primary production. These shelves are tilted at an angle of 4 degrees and their depth ranges from 150 meters to 200 meters. They have wide varieties of species such as lobsters, tuna, sponges, oysters etc.
Explanation: Biotic factors are the living aspects of an ecosystem such as fish and plants, while abiotic factors are the nonliving aspects such as water and rocks. Habitat is the home of the biotic factors.
