Question
Convert the gradient of the continental shelf to degrees. Do not put the units in the answer, just the number of degrees. Put two (2) digits to the right of the decimal point (even if one or more of them is a zero). Do not write the word "degrees" or put the symbol for degrees (°) in your answer.
Convert the gradient of the continental slope to degrees. Do not put the units in the answer, just the number of degrees. Put two (2) digits to the right of the decimal point. Put two (2) digits to the right of the decimal point (even if one or more of them is a zero). Do not write the word "degrees" or put the symbol for degrees (°) in your answer.
Convert the gradient of the continental rise to degrees. Do not put the units in the answer, just the number of degrees. Put two (2) digits to the right of the decimal point. Remember, just the number in the answer box, with two digits to the right of the decimal point.
Explanation / Answer
Continental rise are the distal parts of margin and they serve as a transition between sloppy margins and flat abyssal plains. The slope of continental rise also known as gradient is always lies between the slope of margins and abyssal plains with margin on higher limit and abyssal plains on lower limit. The gradient of continental rise is always less than 1 degree.
