Continental Shelf Of Chile
The continental shelf of Chile is the underwater extension adjacent to the Chilean coasts that stretches from the shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf in the Pacific Ocean and the Southern Ocean. The scientific study and delimitation of the continental shelf and its outer limit are conducted by the National Committee for the Continental Shelf, established in 2007. The delimitation of Chile's continental shelf follows principles established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which sets guidelines for the delineation of continental shelves by coastal states. Chile has submitted claims to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. Apart from its economic importance, the continental shelf also holds geopolitical significance. Its delimitation has occasionally led to tensions with neighboring countries, particularly Argentina, which also claims rights over adjacent maritime areas. Decisions and presentations made to t ...

Tricontinental Chile And The Chilean Sea
''Tricontinental'' is a Left-wing politics, left-wing quarterly magazine founded after the Tricontinental Conference 1966.

Treaty Of Peace And Friendship Of 1984 Between Chile And Argentina
The Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1984 between Chile and Argentina (, see the text in thUnited Nations was signed into agreement at the Vatican on 29 November 1984. It was ratified * on 30 December 1984 by the Argentine Chamber of Deputies; * on 15 March 1985 by the Argentine National Congress; * on 16 March 1985 by the Interim representative of the President of Argentina, who was abroad; * on 11 April 1985 by the Chilean Military Government Junta as Legislature. On 12 April 1985 it was signed by Augusto Pinochet, and on 2 May 1985 the Foreign Ministers of both countries exchanged original documents. Due to the timing, the treaty is variously known as the 1984 Treaty or the 1985 Treaty. The treaty contains a preamble, a maritime border definition, a comprehensive body of legislation on solving disputes, ship navigation rights and an exact definition of the border through the Straits of Magellan.

Dispute Over The Extended Continental Shelf In The Southern Zone Sea Between Argentina And Chile
The dispute over the extended continental shelf in the Southern Zone Sea between Argentina and Chile is a disagreement between the two countries over a maritime area of 5,302 km² that began after Argentina attempted to extend its maritime space based on the theory of the extended continental shelf over the Southern Zone Sea (), south of Point F as agreed in the 1984 treaty, in an area claimed by Chile as part of its " presential sea", and now as part of its continental shelf (not extended) projected from the Diego Ramírez Islands. Previously, Argentina claimed the overlapping "crescent-shaped" area as a " heritage protection sea". For its part, Chile has understood that marine continental shelves should prevail over extended continental shelves, a position supported by the interpretation presented by the International Court of Justice in its 2023 ruling on the delimitation of the continental shelf in the context of the Colombia-Nicaragua case. The dispute also involves both ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Territorial Disputes Of Nicaragua
Territorial disputes of Nicaragua include the territorial dispute with Colombia over the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina and Quita Sueño Bank. Nicaragua also has a maritime boundary dispute with Honduras in the Caribbean Sea and a Costa Rica–Nicaragua San Juan River border dispute, boundary dispute over the San Juan River (Nicaragua), Rio San Juan with Costa Rica. Colombia San Andres y Providencia In 1670 the English Privateer, corsair Henry Morgan took over the islands until 1689. In 1803, after Spain's Viceroyalty of New Granada had been re-established in 1739, the archipelago and the province of Veraguas – covering the western territory of Panama and the eastern coast of Nicaragua – were added to its area of jurisdiction. In the later colonial era the territory was administered from the province of Cartagena, Colombia, Cartagena.

International Court Of Justice
The International Court of Justice (ICJ; , CIJ), or colloquially the World Court, is the only international court that Adjudication, adjudicates general disputes between nations, and gives advisory opinions on International law, international legal issues as interpretation of international treaties, borders disputes and human rights cases. It is one of the United Nations System#Six principal organs, six organs of the United Nations (UN), and is located in The Hague, Netherlands. The ability to file a case before the ICJ is limited exclusively to recognized governments of states.

Isobath
A bathymetric chart is a type of isarithmic map that depicts the submerged bathymetry and physiographic features of ocean and sea bottoms. Their primary purpose is to provide detailed depth contours of ocean topography as well as provide the size, shape and distribution of underwater features. Topographic maps display elevation above ground (topography) and are complementary to bathymetric charts. Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward. Bathymetric surveys and charts are associated with the science of oceanography, particularly marine geology, and underwater engineering or other specialized purposes. Bathymetric data used to produce charts can also be converted to bathymet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nautical Mile
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute ( of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees). Today the international nautical mile is defined as exactly . The derived unit of speed is the knot, one nautical mile per hour. Unit symbol There is no single internationally agreed symbol, with several symbols in use. * NM is used by the International Civil Aviation Organization. * nmi is used by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the United States Government Publishing Office. * M is used as the abbreviation for the nautical mile by the International Hydrographic Organization. * nm is a non-standard abbreviation used in many maritime applications and texts, including U.S. Government Coa ...

Continental Margin
A continental margin is the outer edge of continental crust abutting oceanic crust under coastal waters. It is one of the three major zones of the ocean floor, the other two being deep-ocean basins and mid-ocean ridges. The continental margin consists of three different features: the continental rise, the continental slope, and the continental shelf. Continental margins constitute about 28% of the oceanic area. Subzones The continental shelf is the relatively shallow water area found in proximity to continents; it is the portion of the continental margin that transitions from the shore out towards to ocean. Continental shelves are believed to make up 7% of the sea floor. The width of continental shelves worldwide varies in the range of 0.03–1500 km. The continental shelf is generally flat, and ends at the shelf break, where there is a drastic increase in slope angle: The mean angle of continental shelves worldwide is 0° 07′, and typically steeper closer to the c ...

Continental Shelf
A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water, known as a shelf sea. Much of these shelves were exposed by drops in sea level during glacial periods. The shelf surrounding an island is known as an "''insular shelf''." The continental margin, between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope, surrounded by the flatter continental rise, in which sediment from the continent above cascades down the slope and accumulates as a pile of sediment at the base of the slope. Extending as far as 500 km (310 mi) from the slope, it consists of thick sediments deposited by turbidity currents from the shelf and slope. The continental rise's gradient is intermediate between the gradients of the slope and the shelf. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the name continental shelf was given a legal definition as the stretch of the seabed adjacent to the shores ...
