Question

Q. Consider the following Ocean Relief Features:

Arrange the above relief features in the correct sequence from the continent towards the ocean floor.

• A. 4-3-2-1
• B. 2-1-3-4
• C. 1-4-3-2
• D. 2-4-3-1

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2-1-3-4

Explanation:

The correct sequence of relief features from the continent towards the ocean is

1. Continental shelf: The continental shelf is the extended margin of each continent. It is the shallowest part of the ocean
2. Continental slope: The continental slope connects the continental shelf and the ocean basins.
3. Continental rise: A continental rise is a wide, gentle incline from a deep ocean plain to a continental slope.
4. Abyssal plains or Deep-sea plains are gently sloping areas of the ocean basins. These are the flattest and smoothest regions of the world.
