What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?

• A. Atlantic Ocean
• B. Pacific Ocean
• C. Indian Ocean
• D. Arctic Ocean

Answer: (A)

On the East Coast, the body of water that borders the United States is the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic lies between the Americas to the west and Europe and Africa to the east, forming the eastern boundary from Maine down to Florida. The Pacific Ocean is on the West Coast, the Indian Ocean is south of Asia and Africa and does not touch the U.S., and the Arctic Ocean sits to the north, beyond Alaska and parts of the northern coast. So the ocean along the East Coast is the Atlantic Ocean.
