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.
The continental crust is the layer of granitic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks which form the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves. It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus floats on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km. About 40% of the Earth's surface is now underlain by continental crust.
