Unix was developed using a high-level programming language (C) instead of platform-specific assembly language, enabling its portability across multiple computer platforms.
The continental shelf is an underwater landmass which extends from a continent, resulting in an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea.Much of the shelves were exposed during glacial periods and interglacial periods.The shelf surrounding an island is known as an insular shelf.The continental margin, between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope followed by the flatter continental rise.Sediment from the continent above cascades down the slope and accumulates as a pile of sediment at the base of the slope, called the continental rise.he shelf surrounding an island is known as an insular shelf. The continental margin, between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope followed by the flatter continental rise.
Main Image: The continental slope is the submerged border of a continent that slopes gradually to the ocean bottom. The total length of the worldâs continental slope sums up to 300,000 km. More than one-half of all continental slopes descend in deep sea trenches.The rest of the slopes descend into the shallow marine sediments.It has been observed that the Pacific Continental Slope is steeper than the Atlantic Continental Slope.he continental slope is the submerged border of a continent that slopes gradually to the ocean bottom. The total length of the worldâs continental slope sums up to 300,000 km.
