Communities may be quite different from the surrounding continental slope. Canyons can be rich in species but are extremely variable in physical form and biology.

Slope

That's the slope of the slope, or the rate of change of the slope itself.

The sloping roof.

These are large, up to in length (though most only reach about half that length), predatory fish inhabiting the waters of the continental shelf and upper continental slope, where they feed on small fish such as lanternfishes.

The slope was increasing.

Slope decreases.

They have come to the top of a cliff.

Continental Shelf

So our slope has decreased.

Slope is decreasing.

The slope was very positive.

The rate of change of the slope is negative.

Throw me off the cliff!

VII. The continental shelf

Definition of the continental shelf

(d) Continental shelf Number of States

One, they said, Life is on an incline.

We made the last one. I know.

Yes, for over there on the steep side.

So what did we say about concave upwards? concave upwards is when the slope is increasing, which means that the rate of change of the slope is positive.

If the slope is constantly increasing, then the rate of change of slope is positive, then the second derivative is positive.

If the slope is decreasing, then the rate of change of slope is negative, which tells us that the second derivative is negative.

The continental shelf and the work of the Commission

If only we had some sort of ramp... ding

So as we increased x, the slope increased.

And as we increase now, our slope becomes negative.

Our slope was decreasing up until this point.

Now, in concave downwards, the slope is decreasing.

A time when you can't tell between the road and a cliff.

It would have been so easy. Remember the precipice?

There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside

Then we come to the rapids?

Hendricks and his men are headed for the rapids.

Fiske, Vicente, watch that end of the ridge.

You spawn of the devil's own strumpet!

The continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles the work of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf

And then after that point, our slope is increasing.

At the bottom of the cliff, we find that they're rare as hens' teeth.

Distance would be the height of the cliff, and so how do we figure this out?

And on this cliff, I have a car.

Dr. Edwardes plunged over the precipice while skiing.

We pass the face of that cliff.

We are crossing a snow bridge. Three men on a rope.

Bellied up a ridge, and there they were, right below me.
