同学你好~
From the shore line, out a distance which may be anywhere from a few miles to a few hundred miles, runs the gentle slope of the continental shelf, geologically part of the continents
要分析这种倒装句，首先要找到主语和谓语。

run的意思是“延伸”
...the sun-dappled trail which ran through the beech woods
…一条穿过山毛榉树林的阳光斑驳的小路

runs the gentle slope of the continental shelf 是谓语+主语

原来的句子就是：the gentle slope of the continental shelf runs from the shore line, out to a distance which may be anywhere from a few miles to a few hundred miles 从from开始都是状语。

out to a distance 向外延伸……的距离
which may be anywhere是定语从句，其中may be是谓语，may是情态动词。anywhere是表语。

祝同学学习进步~
