Term	Definition
Continental Shelf	the shallow, gently sloping, submerged extension of a continent, typically stretching from the shoreline to a depth of about 100–200 meters (approx. 60–600 feet)
Continental Slope	the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
Sediments	accumulated layers of organic and inorganic particles—such as sand, mud, silt, and skeletal remains—that settle onto the seafloor
Continental Rise	a wide, gently sloping underwater feature found at the base of the continental slope, typically at depths of 3,000 to 4,000 meters
Abyssal Plain	a vast, incredibly flat, and nearly level area on the deep ocean floor, typically found at depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters (approx. 10,000 to 20,000 feet)
Deep Sea Trenches	re long, narrow, steep-sided depressions on the ocean floor that mark the deepest parts of the ocean, often exceeding 20,000 feet (meters) in depth. They form at convergent plate boundaries
Lakes	large bodies of still freshwater (examples: Lake Drummond, Bark Camp Lake)
Rivers	Bodies of flowing freshwater (James River and Clinch River)
Bays	an area of saltwater mostly surrounded by land (Chesapeake Bay)
Ocean	a large body of saltwater (The Atlantic Ocean)
Watershed	an area of land over which surface water flows to a single collection plate
Natural Resources	are resources that occur naturally, meaning that they can exist without humans. They are used to aid human life
