Features of the Ocean Floor. Continental Shelf. Zone . of shallow water where the ocean covers the end of the continent. . Shallow slope. Where most ocean life is found. Why?. Answer: Photic zone is the first 100 feet of water and allows sunlight to penetrate the water. . Ocean Floor Features. Continental Shelf . The gently sloping section of the continental margin located between the shoreline and the continental slope. . Continental Slope.

A distinctive suite of basin develops where plates rift and separate as a result of sea floor spreading. Continental margins under these conditions are referred to as “divergent” or passive margin .
