La plataforma nace, entonces, en la costa, y suele terminar en un punto de la comarca pendiente creciente (llamado ***barrera continental***). http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plataforma_continental The shelf usually ends at a point of increasing slope (called the ***shelf break***). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_shelf |
