Germany Maritime claims Home Germany Geography territorial sea: 12 nm exclusive economic zone: 200 nm continental shelf: 200-m depth or to the depth of exploitation Definition This entry includes the following claims, the definitions of which are excerpted from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which alone contains the full and definitive descriptions: territorial sea - the sovereignty of a coastal state extends beyond its land territory and internal waters to an adjacent belt of sea, described as the territorial sea in the UNCLOS (Part II); this sovereignty extends to the air space over the territorial sea as well as its underlying seabed and subsoil; every state has the right to establish the breadth of its territorial sea up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles; the normal baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the low-water line along the coast as marked on large-scale charts officially recognized by the coastal state; the UNCLOS describes specific rules for archipelagic states contiguous zone - according to the UNCLOS (Article 33), this is a zone contiguous to a coastal state's territorial sea, over which it may exercise the control necessary to: prevent infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration, or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea; punish infringement of the above laws and regulations committed within its territory or territorial sea; the contiguous zone may not extend beyond 24 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured (e.g., the US has claimed a 12-nautical mile contiguous zone in addition to its 12-nautical mile territorial sea)

COUNTRY STUDIES Germany - GEOGRAPHY Germany - Geography Roughly the size of Montana and situated even farther north, unified Germany has an area of 356,959 square kilometers. Extending 853 kilometers from its northern border with Denmark to the Alps in the south, it is the sixth largest country in Europe. At its widest, Germany measures approximately 650 kilometers from the Belgian-German border in the west to the Polish frontier in the east. The territory of the former East Germany (divided into five new Länder in 1990) accounts for almost one-third of united Germany's territory and one-fifth of its population. After a close vote, in 1993 the Bundestag, the lower house of Germany's parliament, voted to transfer the capital from Bonn in the west to Berlin, a city-state in the east surrounded by the Land of Brandenburg. The relocation process is expected to be concluded by about the year 2000, following the transfer of the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Chancellory, and ten of the eighteen federal ministries. Topography With its irregular, elongated shape, Germany provides an excellent example of a recurring sequence of landforms found the world over. A plain dotted with lakes, moors, marshes, and heaths retreats from the sea and reaches inland, where it becomes a landscape of hills crisscrossed by streams, rivers, and valleys. These hills lead upward, gradually forming high plateaus and woodlands and eventually climaxing in spectacular mountain ranges.

68. Germany's Geography In all these regions you will find out why germany has become one of the top Since germany is located in the heart of Europe, it has many neighbors. http://library.thinkquest.org/J0112187/germany_geography.htm

During the last Ice Age, glaciers (from the Alps in the south and Scandinavia in the north) occurred four times and shaped much of Germanys land. After this happened, the glaciers had formed five regions, The North Germany Lowlands, The South German Hills, The Central Uplands, The Alpine foothills (of The Southern Germany Hills) and the Rhine River Valley. In all these regions you will find out why Germany has become one of the top vacationing spots. Since Germany is located in the heart of Europe, it has many neighbors. Nations touching its western boundary are the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, and France. The total area of Germany is 137,854 feet, a little bit smaller than the state of Montana in the United States. Germany includes flat lands, hills, lakes, rivers, mountains, and large areas of forest. Climate Germany is located in the world’s temperate zone, where temperatures change dramatically from season to season. Weather in the western part of the country is affected by the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean tends to warm the air in winter and cool it in the summer. The eastern part of the nation has a more normal climate with hot summers and cold winters. In the northwestern part of the nation, the average temperature is about fifty degrees Fahrenheit. To the south, the temperature is warmer by about three degrees Fahrenheit. North Germany Lowlands Northern Germany is along the coast of the North and Baltic seas. The largest land in Germany is the Lowlands. Almost the entire region (also known as the North German Plain) lies 300 feet above sea level. The region is drained by rivers that flow northward into the North Sea or the Baltic Sea. These rivers are the Elbe, Ems, Oder, Rhine, and Weser, all of which are important waterways. In the northernmost part of the country, the important Kiel Canal links the Baltic to the North Sea. The wide river valleys, as well as land along the seacoasts, have soft, fertile soil. Between the valleys are large areas covered with sand and gravel. These areas are called heathlands. The sand and gravel were buried by glaciers, which moved across much of Europe thousands of years ago. The glaciers also formed many small lakes in the region.

These hills lead upward, gradually forming high plateaus and woodlands and eventually climaxing in spectacular mountain ranges. As of the mid-1990s, about 37 percent of the country's area was arable; 17 percent consisted of meadows and pastures; 30 percent was forests and woodlands; and 16 percent was devoted to other uses. Geographers often divide Germany into four distinct topographic regions: the North German Lowland; the Central German Uplands; Southern Germany; and the Alpine Foreland and the Alps.

News Project Description Office Staff University Staff ... Contact Germany's Geography The territory of Germany stretches from the high mountains of the Alps (highest point: the Zugspitze at 2,962 m) in the south to the shores of the North Sea in the north-west and the Baltic Sea in the north-east. In between are found the forested uplands of central Germany and the low-lying lands of northern Germany (lowest point: Neuendorfer/Wilstermarsch at 3.54 meters below sea level), traversed by some of Europe's major rivers such as the Rhine, Danube and Elbe. Thanks to its central situation, Germany has more neighbours than any other European country; these are Denmark in the north, Poland and the Czech Republic in the east, Austria and Switzerland in the south, France and Luxembourg in the south-west and Belgium and the Netherlands in the north-west. The greater part of Germany lies in the cool/temperate climatic zone in which humid westerly winds predominate. In the north-west and the north the climate is extremely oceanic and rain falls all the year round. Winters there are relatively mild and summers comparatively cool. In the east the climate shows clear continental features; winters can be very cold for long periods, and summers can become very warm. Here, too, long dry periods are often recorded. In the centre and the south there is a transitional climate which may be predominantly oceanic or continental, according to the general weather situation. There have been several large-scale river floodings in the last few years; while floods of such severity are quite rare in the long term, their frequency has been increasing lately, partly due to changes in land use in the flood plains.
