Image Oceanic basin.svg thumb right Diagrammatic cross section of an oceanic basin The continental rise is an underwater feature found between the continental slope and the abyssal plain . This feature can be found all around the world, and it represents the final stage in the boundary between continents and the deepest part of the ocean. The environment in the continental rise is quite unique, and many oceanographers study it extensively in the hopes of learning more about the ocean and geologic history. Continental Rise At the bottom of the continental slope, one will find the continental rise, an underwater hill composed of tons of accumulated sediments.The general slope of the continental rise is between 0.5 degrees and 1.0 degrees. Beyond the continental rise stretches the abyssal plain, an extremely flat area of the sea floor which is also incredibly deep. The abyssal plain hosts many unique life forms which are uniquely adapted to survival in its cold, high pressure, and dark conditions. The flatness of the abyssal plain is interrupted by massive underwater mountain chains near the tectonic boundaries of the Earth s plates. ocean stub physical oceanography expanded other Category Oceanography an Glacis continental bg et Mandrijalam fr Glacis continental ht Elevasyon kontinantal nl Continentale verheffing pt Eleva o continental vi Ch n l c a ... more details

It lies just behind the southern lunar limb, in a region that is sometimes brought into view of the Earth due to libration . Idel son is situated to the southwest of the huge walled plain Schr dinger crater Schr dinger . The northern rim of Idel son is overlain by the larger crater Ganswindt crater Ganswindt , reversing the usual order of smaller craters on top of larger impacts usually seen on the Moon. The outer glacis of Ganswindt covers nearly half the interior floor of Idel son, reaching to the mid point. The remainder of the interior and rim of the crater has been partly overlain by ejecta, producing a rounded, lumpy surface. Still the surviving outer rim remains distinct, and is not overlain by any other impacts of note. The largest impact within the interior is a tiny crater next to the southeastern inner wall.
