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.
This term is appropriate because the bedrock of the continental margin is the same as the continental plates. From a geological perspective, the continents do not end at the shore, but at the continental rise. At its outer edge, the continental margin merges with the deep-sea floor or gives way to an oceanic trench.
