ContinentalMargin
ContinentalMargin
is class of
SubmergedLandArea
s that are the extension of land underwater at the edge of a continent, before a drop to the sea floor. A
ContinentalMargin
includes the
ContinentalShelf
and the continental break, slope, or rise at the outer edge.
ContinentalShelf
A
ContinentalShelf
is a natural undersea extension of land around a
Continent
. The shelf is a gently sloped (average less than one percent) plain that is an extension of the
CoastalPlain
found off the coast of most continents.
MaritimeShelfArea
MaritimeShelfArea
is a subclass of
MaritimeClaimArea
that covers
SubmergedLandArea
s claimed by an adjacent geopolitical area. The
Law
OfTheSea defines the continental shelf as extending up to 200 miles (NM) offshore and including the resources found therein. The defined claim area does not correspond exactly to a geological
ContinentalShelf
, but if there is one, the two areas will overlap spatially.
SeabedArea
SeabedArea
is the class of
SubmergedLandArea
s that are part of the sea floor.
