Question

Which ocean surrounds North America in the West?
A) Indian ocean
B) Pacific ocean
C) Atlantic ocean
D) Arctic ocean

Answer 1

Hint: The ocean is a body of salt water that covers roughly seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface. It can also refer to "any of the vast bodies of water that split the big ocean." The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern or Antarctic, and Arctic Oceans are the five oceans listed in descending order by area in a common definition.

Complete answer:
North America is a continent that spans the whole Northern Hemisphere and nearly all of the Western Hemisphere. It is sometimes referred to as the Americas' northern subcontinent. Greenland is geographically part of North America because it is located on the North American Tectonic Plate.

North America is 24,709,000 square kilometers in size, accounting for around 16.5 percent of the Earth's land area and 4.8 percent of its total surface. North America is the third-largest continent in terms of land area, after Asia and Africa, and the fourth-largest in terms of population, after Asia, Africa, and Europe.Because of Europe's colonization of the Americas, the majority of North Americans speak European languages like English, Spanish, or French, and their cultures are heavily influenced by Western customs. Indigenous peoples continue to practice their cultural traditions and speak their own languages in areas of Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Central America.

North America is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea, and on the West and south by the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’ i.e, ‘Pacific ocean’.

Note: The ocean has long been used by humans for a number of purposes. Overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of exotic species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification, and ocean warming are all examples of human actions that have an impact on marine life and environments. These have an impact on marine ecosystems and food webs and may have unintended repercussions for biodiversity and the survival of marine life forms.
