You overhear Kali describing her trip to the ocean to a friend. She explains that she waded out onto the continental rise, but was careful not to go too far, because she didn’t want to reach the steep decline of the continental slope. What part of her story needs to be corrected?

A. She needed to be careful of the continental shelf, not the slope.
B. She was on the continental shelf, not the continental rise.
C. She was on the continental slope and needed to be careful of the rise.
D. Continental slopes are not steep declines, they are gradual.

Answer:

B. She was on the continental shelf, not the continental rise.

Explanation:

The continent first contacts the ocean at the continental shelf. After a while, the continental shelf ends in a steep decline known as the continental slope. The  continental slope eventually levels out into a gradually sloping continental rise which eventually becomes the ocean floor.

The part of her story that needs to be corrected is that she was on the continental shelf, not the continental rise. The correct option is B.

A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged beneath a shallow body of water known as a shelf sea.

During glacial periods, sea level drops exposed many of these shelves. The shelf surrounding an island is known as an insular shelf.

The continental shelf is where the continent first makes contact with the ocean. The continental shelf eventually ends in a steep decline recognized as the continental slope.

The continental slope eventually flattens out and becomes a gradually sloping continental rise, which eventually becomes the ocean floor.

Her story needs to be corrected because she was on the continental shelf, not the continental rise.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Water is a renewable resource that is constantly generated through the water cycle. The ocean contains most of the Earth's available water, but it is undrinkable because it contains salt. All but one of the reasons listed are reasons why desalination is not a popular option to have clean, drinkable water. it is expensive to desalinate water.
