Public Insurance Adjuster fees? After Hurricane Ike, we hired a public insurance adjuster after the insurance company gave us a check for our 1st claim that wasn't sufficient to repair the damage to our house. The adjuster was able to get an additional $8,000. She told use her 10% fee comes from the total amount, not the $8,000.
The continental rise is an underwater feature found between the continental slope and the abyssal plain. This feature can be found all around the world, and it represents the final stage in the boundary between continents and the deepest part of the ocean.
From this perspective the edge of the continental shelf is the true edge of the continent, as shorelines vary with changes in sea level. In this sense the British Isles are part of Europe, and Australia and the island of New Guinea together form a continent (Australia-New Guinea). As a cultural construct, the concept of a continent may go beyond the continental shelf to include oceanic islands and continental fragments.
