Question

A continental shelf is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:

a. Abundant life
c. High amounts of sunlight
b. Shallow water
d. Steep drop offs

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A continental shelf slopes down slowly, not as a steep drop off. SO D would be correct.

Answer 2

A continental shelf is characterized by all of the following  except abundant life. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "a". Since it is the shallow part, so there is little chance of abundance of life. It also has very steep drop offs. It also gets an abundance of sunlight.
