continental shelves (undersea shelves, undersea landforms, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: In geography, the perimeters of each continent and the associated coastal plain; now, during the current interglacial period, submerged under relatively shallow seas. Much of the continental shelves' area was exposed during glacial periods. In international law, under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the "continental shelf" is defined as the stretch of the seabed adjacent to the shores of a particular country to which it belongs.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... In de geografie, de randen van een continent en de daaraan verbonden kustvlakte; deze bevinden zich nu, tijdens het huidige interglaciaal, onder water in relatief ondiepe zeeën. Gedurende de ijstijden lag een groot deel van het continentaal plat bloot. In het internationale recht, onder het VN-zeerechtverdrag, wordt het continentaal plat gedefinieerd als het deel van de zeebodem dat grenst aan de kust van het land waartoe het behoort. |
