The Arctic ocean is covered by extensive continental shelves and is made up of two basins, the Eurasian to the east and the Canadian to the west.
A land mass that extends beyond the edge of the continental crust and is covered in shallow water is known as the continental shelves. With an average slope of about 0.1, it slopes gently toward the sea. There is a substantial continental shelf that surrounds the Arctic ocean.
It starts at the beach and continues all the way to the shelf break, where it steepens. Even though the continental shelves is underwater and frequently covered in sediment, geologists nevertheless regard it as a part of the continental crust. The term "insular shelf" refers to the continental shelf that surrounds an island.
