Outer Continental Shelf consists of the submerged lands, subsoil, and seabed in a specified zone up to 200 nautical miles or more offshore from U.S. coasts.

A continental shelf is the part of the continent that is under water. The shelf was part of the land during the ice ages in the glacial periods, but under water in the interglacial periods. We are at present in an interglacial period.

The continental shelf is an undersea extension of a continent which can stretch for many miles out to sea in some cases.

The continental shelf is a shallow, near horizontal seafloor extension from the shoreline to the upper continental slope. This shelf forms the shallow margin of each deep-ocean basin.

The continental shelf is the gently dipping submerged margin of the continent that extends from the nearshore to the shelf break. Beyond the break (at a depth of approximately 200 meters, or 650 feet), the slope descends more steeply to the ocean floor.

the outer continental shelf, with shelf depths of approximately 70 to 80 meters along the eastern, nearshore boundary. Landward of the sanctuary are shelf areas shallower than 30 meters that are contained with the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

The continental shelf regions also contain the highest amount of benthic life (plants and animals that live on the ocean floor). Diagram of continental shelf, slope & rise The continental slope connects the continental shelf and the oceanic crust.

The continental shelf is the extended perimeter of each continent, which is covered during interglacial periods such as the current epoch by relatively shallow seas (known as shelf seas) and gulfs. The shelf usually ends at a point of increasing slope (called the shelf break).
