        The Contiagouse Zone: band of water that goes from the 12-24 mile area, and they country gets weaker sovereignty
        
        Exclusive Economical Zone: from the coast to 200 miles out they territory will get what every is there
        
        International waters: 200+ miles out is owned by everyone
        
        Median- Line principle: If 2 countries are less then 200 miles apart the ocean in between is split evenly among the
    - - Definition:when a boarder treaties are interpreted 2 different ways by the 2 states
      - Locational: when the boarder moves, like a river dries up...
      - Operational: when the boarders agree to a boarder but passage across the boarder is an issue
      - Allocational:when a resource lies on both sides of the boarder; who gets what?
    - - Compact: the distance from the center of the state to any boarder is about the same. ex: Colorado
      - Prorupted: An otherwise fairly compact state but with a large projecting extension. Ex: Thailand
      - Elongated: Long thin sate. ex: Chile
      - Fragmented: Separated by a physical or human barrier. Ex: Indonisia
      - Perferated: The larger state surrounding another. Ex: South Africa
      - Enclave: The smaller state inside of another. Ex: Lesuto

- - - - Absolute; Latitude and Longitude, and address
        
        Longitude: 0 =equator then _ North or South
        
        Longitude: 0 = prime meridian, then _West or East
      - Relative- N,S,E,W
    - - Import/exports, transportation
  - - - Every flat map has distortion in either; Size, shape, of countries and continents;
    - - Mercator; size of countries is wrong, the shape of them is right .
      - Eckert IV; shows correct size, but shape is wrong- looks stretched out
      - Goode's Homolsine- Shows continents size, but the Oceans are all distorted
