There are four parts of the ocean floor. The four parts are the continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise, and the abyssal plains.
ReplyDelete1. The continental shelf is the part of the ocean floor that is a long plain beginning at the shore line which stretches towards the ocean. Shelves can be found around most continents. More plants and animals live here than any other part of the ocean.
2. The continental slope is the part of the ocean floor that slopes steeply. Continental slopes are the longest, highest continuous boundaries on Earth. Wind patterns and the current pull water filled with nutrients to the slope making feeding grounds for whales and many types of fish.
3. The continental rise is an area between the slope and abyssal plains. It forms from sediment that falls down from the landmass. Most places, the continental rise is small, but the mouth of a large river builds up sediment making the continental rise noticeable.
4. The abyssal plains are large flat areas at the bottom of the ocean which is freezing cold but tubeworms, clams, and spider crabs still live here. Abyssal plains are usually smooth and flat, but here and there, big trenches form and some are deeper than the Grand Canyon. There are also huge mountains and volcanoes on the bottom of the ocean.
1. The first floor is the Continental Shelf. The Continental Shelf is a plain that is formed by the sediment. It starts at the shoreline and continues towards the ocean. Most animals and plants live there because of the sunlight and rich sediment.
ReplyDelete2. The second floor is the Continental Slope. The Continental Slopes start towards the end of the self and the land suddely goes very deep into the ocean. Continental Slopes are the most highest and longest continuous boundaries on Earth.
3. The next floor is the Continental Rise. Sediment and debris falls to an area called the Continental Rise. In most places, the Continental Rise is very small, but in the mouth of a big river, lot's of sediment may build up and makes the rise more noticeable.
4. The last floor of the ocean is the Abyssal Plains. It is freezing cold and very, very dark, and it has so much pressure, that it could crush a building. But surprisingly, animals still live there. There is hot vents that poke up like chimmneys on the ocean floor.The Abyssal Plains are very smooth, but sometimes, there are trenches that are deeper than the Grand Canyon. Also sometimes, there may be large volcanoes and mountains.
The first part of the ocean floor is known as the continental shelf. The continental shelf is near the edge of a continent, which extends far out Underneath the ocean. On the coast of the pacific, the continental shelf is about 10-30 kilometers long,but on the Atlantic and gulf coasts it is usually about 350 kilometers long. On th edge of the continental shelf is the continental slope. beyond that there are trenches, valleys,plains,and other lands that create the underwater landscape.Located at the base of the continental slope is the continental rise, this is also where the slope angle decreases. The continental rise may be hundreds of kilometers wide. Sediments from the surface go underwater to create the abyssal plains which is the last layer of the ocean floor. There are also some some mountains and volcanoes underwater, and the lava that comes from the volcanoes hardens into rock that can cover cracks in the underwater landscape. That's what I have to say about the parts of the ocean floor. Good bye!

ReplyDeleteThe first part of the ocean is the continental shelf.The continental shef is the widest shelf, it streches 1500 km off the coust of siberia into the Arctic ocean. More plants and amimals live on the shelf than anyother place in the ocean.
The second part of the ocean is the continental slope. The continental slopes are the largest and the highest continues bourders on the earth. Wind patterns and curent hellp pull nutrient rich water up the slopes, providing feeding grounds for whales and many other fish.
The third part of the ocean is called the continental rise. The continental rise debris&sediment falls down the slope, coming to rest on an area known as the continental rise. In most places of the continental rise is relativly small.
the fourth part of the ocean is called the Abyssal plains. Here ther are living things. For the most part they are smooth and level. There are also huge cracks and some are deeper than the grand canyon.
thats all i can tell you about the four ocean floors.
bye!
1.The continental shelf. It is the widest shelf. More plants and animals live there than any other place in the ocean. The continental shelf is by the edge of a continent.
ReplyDelete2. The continental slope. The continental slope are the longest and highest continuous boundaries on Earth. It starts at the end of the shelf and slopes very steeply down.
3. The continental rise. In the rainy season, water and sediment flow from the Amazon River at the rate of 184,000 cubic metres per second. The continental rise is fairly small compared to other parts.
4. The final part of the ocean is the Abyssal plains. Giant tube worms, clams and spider crabs live in the hot, mineral rich water near the vents. Some cracks in the Abyssal plain are deeper than the Grand Canyon.

PARTS OF THE OCEAN FLOOR
ReplyDelete1. Continental Shelf. The Continental shelf is a long plain that begins in the shores and end in the deep ocean. The size of the shelves varies depending on the Ocean. Here we can find the most living creatures of the Oceans.
2. Continental Slope. The Continental slope is a part of the ocean that suddenly drops deep into the ocaen.From the Andes Mountain it is a nine mile drop.
3.Continental rise. The Continental rise is one of the features of the ocean floor.It is beetween the Continental slope and the Abyssal plains.When the Debris and sediment falls down into the Continental rise it stays there beacaues the land beacomes flater.
4. Abyssal plains. In the Abyssal plains the ocean is dark beacause it's so deep that sun light dosen't reach so deep.But there are still living things.
DAVIS : SAYS There are four parts of the ocean. The first is the continental shelf. The continental shelf is a long plain that begins at the shore and stretches towards the ocean. Shelves can be found easily but the size of the shelves varies. The widest shelf is 1500 kilometers. There is almost no shelf at all in southeastern Florida because a powerful stream sweeps away the sediment. There are more animals and plants in shelfs because there is lots of sunlight. The second part of the ocean is the continental slope. At the edge of the shelf the land drops deep in to the ocean. the change in elevation can be dramatic, mostly where mountains along the coast drop to the sea. The third part of the ocean is the continental rise. Debris and sediment fall down the slope stopping on what is known as the continental rise. Usally the continental rise is small, but at the mouth of a large river the rise may be more noticeable. The fourth part of the ocean is called the abyssal plains. It is at the bottom of the ocean and the pressure could destroy a building. But there are still living things. Hot vents poke up from the ocean where tubeworms clams and spider crabs. So they live in the hot mineral rich water near the vents. Most of the abyssal plains are smooth. But here and there huge trenches crack. Some are deeper then the grand canyon.
ReplyDelete1.Continental Shelf long plain that begins at the shoreline and stretches towards the deep ocean. It is made from sediment that has eroded from the landmass. Sunlight and rich sediments make the continental shelf a good place to live.
ReplyDelete2.Continental Slope is the drop from the edge of the shelf that plunges deep into the ocean.
Continental Slopes are the largest and the highest boundaries on earth.Also wind patterns and the current help pull nutrient-rich water up to the slope.
3.Continental Rise is where debris and sediment falls down the slope coming to rest on an area.In most oceans the continental rise is relatively small.However,at the mouth of the large river, sediment may build up making the rise more noticeable.
4.Abbysal Plain is the bottom of the ocean that is very black and freezing cold.But the abbysal plain is the smoothest and levelest.Also, animals live there like giant tubeworms,clams and etc.
1.Continental shelf: Place where most animals and plants live. It is formed by sediment which is a result of eroded from the landmass.
ReplyDelete2. Continental Slope: It is a sudden drop where the continental shelf finishes. Longest and highest continuous boundaries on earth.
3. Continental raise: Is where the debries and sediment falls down the continental slope. In rainy days, water and sediment flows from the Amazon River at very high rate
4. Abyssal Plains: It is the bottom of the ocean, it is black as a cave and frezzing as a fridge. There are huge mountains and volcanoes
1. The Continental Shelf; The Continental Shelf is the ocean floor that is like a plain. The Continental Shelf starts from the shoreline and leads toward the deep ocean.
ReplyDelete2. The Continental Slope; The Continental Slope is a sudden drop that comes after the Continental Shelf. They are also the longest most continuous boundaries in the world.
3. The Continental Rise; The Continental Rise is like the place where a slope stops. The Continental Rise is small in most places.
4. The Abyssal Plains; The Abyssal Plains are the very bottom of the ocean floor. They are known to be cold and dark. The ground is very smoothe and level.
1.) Abyssal Plains is dark and cold. But even with the freezing cold air, living things still live here. Such as Giant tubeworms, clams and spider crabs live there. The abyssal plains is mostly smooth and leveled. But the trenches crack the surface which can be deeper than the Grand Canyon!!
ReplyDelete2.) At the edge of the shelf of the land, it will suddenly plunge it deep into the ocean. This is the Continental Slope. They are the longest and also highest boundaries on Earth. Along the sea floor there are little continental shelf in the between. The wind patterns currently helps the pull of the nutrient-rich water up the slope. It provides feeding the grounds for whales, and other fish.
3.) The long plain begins at the shorelin and stretches all the way towards the ocean. This is the COntinental Shelf. The wides shelf on earth is the 1500 kilo. off the coast of Sibera. There are barely any shelfs at the coast of the southeastern Florida. Lots of plants and animals has lived on the shelfs. The sunlight makes the continental shelf which is a good place for them to live.
4.) Debris and sediment falls down on the slope which makes them to rest on a unknown area which is the Continental rise. At the mouth of the large river, the sediment builds up a rise that is more niticeable.
1. The continental shelf is a long plain which is formed from the sediments of the landmass. The largest continenatl shelf is located in Siberia ,stretching upto 1,500 kms.Most of the plants and animals live on the continenatal shelf.It is good for the plants as they get a lot of sunlight.
ReplyDelete2.The edge of the continental shelf drops deep down into the ocean, which is called the Continental slope.It is the longest and the highest slopes on the boundaries of the Earth.
3.Debris and sediment fall resting on an area which is called the Continental rise.
At most places the Continental rise is very small.
4.At the bottom of the ocean, it is freezing cold.The pressure there is so strong, it could crush a building.There are many living things which live here, beacuse of the water rich in minerals. This is called Abyssal Plain.
There are four parts of the ocean floor. the Continental shelf, Continental slope, Continental rise, and the Abyssal Plains.
ReplyDelete1. The continental shelf has sunlight and rich sediments, making this a good place to live, that is why most animals live in this part.
2. The continental slope is a part that slopes steeply. Here, currents help pull nutrients- rich water up the slope. The continental slope are the longestand the highest continuos boundries on Earth.
3. The continental rise is small, but the mouth of a large river, sediment may build up to be more noticeable.
4. The Abyssal Plains are smooth and level. The water is cold and it can crush a building, but there are living creatures. Giant Tubworms, clams, and spider crabs live here.
The three exreme facts i learned.
ReplyDeleteThe strongest earthquake...
The srongest eathquake recorded occured in southern chile in May 1960, Measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale and killing 5,000 people. Weaker earthquakes in more populated areas have been more deadly.
The deapest point in the earth...
You can find that in the mariana trench near the mariana islands in the western pacific. The mariana trench is an underwater valley about 1,554 miles (2,500km)long. Its the deepest underwater valley on Earth. The deepest point in this trench is the challenger deep, wich goes down 36,198 feet (about 11,033m) on the ocean floor.
The most snow...
The most snow recorded in 27 hours was 76 inched (about 198cm) or more than 6feet. It blanked silver lake, colorado, on april 14-15, in 1921. The most snow recorded during one year was l,122 inches about (2,850cm). It fell at Rainer paradise Ranger station in washington state on 1971-1922.
Continental shelf is a long plain. It is formed from sediment. The widest shelf is about 1,500 kilometers. There is almost no shelf at all off the coast of southeastern florida.
ReplyDeleteThe continental slope is at the edge of the continental shelf. It is a big drop down a lot deeper into the ocean. Continental slopes are the longest and highest boundaries. Wind patterns and the current help pull water up the slope.
The continental rise is small in most places. Sediment might build up and make the continental rise more noticeable. When it rains a lot, water and sediment might come from the Amazon River.
The abyssal plains are at the bottom of the ocean. It is very dark there. The water pressure is so high that it could crush a building. Living things are there, though. Spider crabs, Giant tubeworms and clams live in heat vents like chimneys. The abyssal plains are very smooth. There are huge mountain volcanoes there too.

ReplyDelete1. The Continetal shelf is a long plain. The longest is off the coast of Siberia. They are made of sediment from land.
2. The Continetal slope is on edge of the Continental Shelf. They drop very deep into the ocean. Whales and many types of fish live here because of the nutrient rich water.
3. The Continental Rise is where debris fall. It is small mostly everwhere. Though sediment might build making it noticeable.
4. The Abyssal Plains is the bottom of the ocean. It is very dark. It can crush buildings.
A contimental shelf is a very long plain that starts at the shoreline and expands towards the deep ocean.It is assembled from sediment that has eroded from landmass.
ReplyDeleteContinental slopes are the farthest and tallest continous boundaries on earth.Change in evalation could be dramatic-particularly in places where mountains along the coast fall to the sea floor with little continental shelf in between.
Debris and sediment drops down the slope,coming to rest on an area known as the continental rise.In most places,the continental rise is relatively very small.But at the mouth of a big river,sediment may build up making the rise more noticeable.
At the bottom of the ocean it is as black as a cave,and freezing cold.The pressure of the water above would destroy a building.
Continentle Shelf
ReplyDeleteThe Continentle Shelf is a long plain that starts at the shoreline and stretches towards the ocean. More plants and animals live in the Continentle Shelf than anyother part of the ocean.
Continemtle Slope
Wind patters and water current help pull food for the fish and whales. At the edge of the shelf the land suddenly plunges into the ocean, this drop is called the Continentle Slope.
Continentle Rise
The continentle rise is made up of debris and sediment that falls down from the slope. In most places the continentle shelf is relatively small.
Abyssal plains
The bottom of the ocean is black and freezing. The pressure could crush a building.
1. Continental Shelf
ReplyDeleteThe continental shelf is a long plain that begina at the shoreline and stretches towards the deep ocean. Most of the sea creatures live here because it is bright and there is a lot of life in it.
2. Continental Slope
At the edge of the Continental Shelf the land suddely begins to drop and gets deeper. The water current and the wind patters helo pull food for fish and whales and it makes it easier to swim along.
3. Continental Rise
Debris and Sediment falls down from the slope and rests on the continental rise. Some places the coninental rise is small but some places are more noticable.
4.Abyssal Plains
Is very dark and cold, it has enough pressure to crush a building! But still there is life. Such as spider crabs, tube worms, clams, and such.
Thats It!! Jina:)
OCEAN FLOOR
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 parts of the ocean: Abyssal plains, Continental rise, Continental slope, and the Continental shelf.
1. Abyssal plains-The Abyssal plains is the bottom of the ocean. There are some trenches as big as the Grand Canyon.
2. Continental rise - The Continental rise is where the ocean starts to go up to shore. Usually this place is very small.
3. Continental slope- The Continental slope id the place where the ocean kind of starts. This is the part where everything starts to go down.
4. Continental shelf- The Continental shelf is where the ocean shore is. Most of the animals in the ocean live there.
Ocean Floor
ReplyDelete1.Continental shelf: It is a long plain that begins frm the shoreline and streches towards the deep side of the ocean.These Shelves can be found around most of the continents.
2.Continental slope: they are the longest and highest continuous boundaries on earth.It's a nine mile drop from the peaks of the Andes mountains in South America.
3.Continental rise: Debris and Sedement rocks, falls down from the Continental slope and the rocks falls down to the Continental Rise.The continental rise makes the water level higher.
4.Abyssal plains: It is such a cold and dark place that even the pressure can crush a building!Still there are living things...
Giant tubeworms,clams,and spider crabs live in this part of the ocean.
