In addition, damage to the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system can occur from chronic alcohol abuse. The long-term use of alcohol is capable of damaging nearly every organ and system in the body. The developing adolescent brain is particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol.
TYPES OF CONTINENTAL MARGINS. Continental margins are not all alike, but they are not all different either. There are two basic types. Each one has different characteristics, which are a function of the processes involved in the formation of the two types of margins. The âclassicâ margin is based on the U.S. East Coast example.
Continental margin (= Rifted margin ?) = The ocean floor that is between the shore line and the abyssal ocean floor, including various provinces: the continental shelf, continental borderland, continental slope and the continental rise.asin = A low area in the Earth's crust, of tectonic origin, in which sediments have accumulated, e.g. a circular centrocline such as the Michigan Basin, a fault bordered intermontane feature such as the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming, or a linear crustal downwarp such as the Appalachian Basin.
