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.
Unlike the continental shelf, the continental slope is rather steep, and geologists suspect that it may mark an earlier sea level in Earth's history. At the bottom of the continental slope, one will find the continental rise, an underwater hill composed of tons of accumulated sediments. Beyond this stretches the abyssal plain, an extremely flat area of the sea floor which is also incredibly deep.
