Here's a breakdown:
* Continental slope: The steep slope that descends from the continental shelf to the ocean basin.
* Continental rise: A gentle, sloping area at the base of the continental slope, formed by sediments deposited from the slope.
* Ocean basin: The deep, flat part of the ocean floor.
Think of it like a staircase:
* Continental shelf: The first step, relatively flat and shallow.
* Continental slope: The steep drop-off between the first and second step.
* Continental rise: The gradual slope down to the second step.
* Ocean basin: The second step, the vast, flat ocean floor.
