Discuss on Continental Margins

This article focus to Discuss on Continental Margins. Continental margins are defined to be active or passive using the presence or absence, respectively, connected with plate tectonic activity. Earthquakes and volcanoes are associated with active continental margins, which might be marked by a landward continental shelf, a much steeper continental slope that ends at an energetic ocean trench, and an irregular ocean bottom that may contain volcanic hills.
