Explanation:
Below the slope is the continental rise, which finally merges into the deep ocean floor, the abyssal plain. The continental shelf and the slope are part of the continental margin. ... The continental slope is much steeper than the shelf; the average angle is 3°, but it can be as low as 1° or as high as 10°.
OR
Continental shelves are gradually slopping ends of a continent that extend under the ocean however continental slopes extend from the outer edge ofthe continental shelf to the ocean floor.
