That's correct! The relatively steep transition between the continental shelf and the ocean basin is called the continental slope.

Here's a little more about it:

* Continental Shelf: The gently sloping, submerged edge of a continent. It's relatively shallow and extends outwards from the coastline.

* Continental Slope: A much steeper incline that marks the boundary between the shelf and the deep ocean floor. It's characterized by a much more rapid change in depth.

* Ocean Basin: The deep, vast expanse of the ocean floor, beyond the continental slope.

The continental slope is an important feature because it plays a role in:

* Sediment Transport: Sediments eroded from the continent are carried down the slope and deposited into the ocean basin.

* Ocean Currents: The slope can influence the direction and flow of ocean currents.

* Marine Life: The slope provides a habitat for a variety of marine organisms.
