Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abyssal plains are flat, featureless areas of the ocean floor that lie between the continental margins and oceanic ridges. They make up the largest part of the deep ocean floor, covering more than 50% of the Earth's surface. Continental shelves, slopes, and rises are all part of the continental margin rather than the ocean floor proper, and thus cannot be the correct answer.
