In the Gulf of Mexico, the primary features are the shallow continental shelf around the Gulf margins, as well as the continental slopes, rises, and fans that connect to the deep abyssal plain. The continental shelf is the relatively flat, shallow expanse that extends from the coast to a water depth of approximately 120 m.
