in locations such as the caribbean sea, international borders between island states are determined by the united nations convention on the law of the sea. these maritime boundaries can best be described as
a relict borders
b superimposed borders
c subsequent borders
d antecedent borders
e consequent borders
Superimposed borders are external-imposed boundaries, not shaped by local cultural/geographic factors. UNCLOS sets these maritime borders for Caribbean island states externally, fitting this definition. Relict borders are abandoned; subsequent borders adjust to local changes; antecedent borders predate human settlement; consequent borders follow cultural/geographic patterns, none match here.
