A continental platform is an area with both a continental shelf and a continental slope. A contintental shelf is the underwater section of a continent that extends to the continental slope, which is the land just before the ocean bottom.
The Azores are an archipelago of Portuguese islands. There are 17 islands: 9 major ones, and 8 small ones. They are about 930 miles west of Lisbon.

Azores is a group of islands in the Atlantic ocean, west of Portugal and Spain.
I think you meant to write Continental Shelf. That is an area near Europe and America where the Atlantic Ocean is shallow.

The Azores are a group of islands off the coast of Portugal. Many people from that part of Portugal settled in the San Francisco Bay Area where I live.
