Lesson 30-3     Exploring the sea-floor

From the shoreline, out to a distance which may be anywhere from a few miles to a few hundredmiles, runs the gentle slope of the continental shelf, geologically part of thecontinents. The real dividing line between continents and oceans occurs at thefoot of a steeper slope.

This continentalslope usually starts at a place somewhere near the 100-fathom mark and in thecourse of a few hundred miles reaches the true ocean floor at 2,500- 3,500fathoms. The slope averages about 1 in 30. but contains steep, probablyvertical, cliffs, and gentle sediment-covered terraces, and near its lowerreaches there is a long tailing-off which is almost certainly the result ofmaterial transported out to deep water after being eroded from the continentalmasses.
