Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Continental rises are areas of accumulated sediments at the base of the continental slopes. These tend
to occur along passive margins. The sediments on active margins would have to pass through many
topographical features to reach the area that would create a continental rise. Information can be found
in the section Understanding the Ocean Began with Voyaging for Trade and Exploration.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Deep-ocean sediments constitute more than half of the Earth's surface. Information can be found in the
section The Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins
