The continental shelf is a submerged extension of a continent, characterized by shallow waters surrounding the coast. It generally extends from the shoreline to the continental slope, where the seabed drops off to deeper oceanic depths. The continental shelf typically has a gentle slope and is rich in marine resources, including fish, oil, gas, and minerals.
