31. It has been estimated that well over 10, 000 may exist on continental slopes and abyssal plains. 32. It is these close-ups of the continental slopes that the Lamont-Doherty team has now processed and analyzed. 33. It occurs over the continental shelf and the continental slope at depths from near the surface to. 34. It is mainly found on the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope , and may aggregate around seamounts. 35. Warty oreos live in the waters of continental slopes , and they form in large schools over rough terrain. 36. The process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor is seafloor spreading and the continental slope . 37. It is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific, typically over fine sediments on the upper continental slope at depths of. 38. Atlantic Ocean waters cyclonically flow in from and return to the Eurasian basin along the Greenland Sea continental slope . 39. This species occurs in relatively cold water on the upper continental slopes at a depth of 30 550 m. 40. The steepness continues offshore where a narrow continental shelf drops to the continental slope in only a few kilometers.
