5. Continental slope- submarine canyons How do you think they might form?

6. Continental rise-slope decreases until the abyssal plain is reached

7. Deep sea trench

8. Mid Ocean Ridge

9. Sea floor sediments  Terrigenous sediments  Biogenous sediments  What is the difference between the two?  What is sediment?  Where do you think the sediment might be thickest
