The Atlantic Ocean:)
The Pacific Ocean.
States with spectacularly rocky coastlines are the Pacific coast states Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington, and Maine on the Atlantic coast. The southern Atlantic states and the Gulf Coast states are more likely to have sandy beaches or boggy areas.
More states border the Atlantic Ocean than do the Pacific Ocean. There are 14 states that border the Atlantic and only five that border the Pacific.
Hurricanes primarily form in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic hurricanes impact regions such as the Caribbean, Central America, and the southeastern United States. In the eastern Pacific, hurricanes affect countries along the west coast of Central America and Mexico.
Atlantic coast!
It is a waterway connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean where most vessels passed.
North America has coastlines with both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, so no one ocean can be said to be the closest
The Ring of Fire is the area on the Pacific's outermost borders. This area has the highest activity of volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. The West Coast is part of the Ring of Fire.

The west coast of the US is more vulnerable to tsunamis than the east coast because tsunamis are more likely to be generated in the Pacific Ocean due to tectonic plate movements along the Ring of Fire. The Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate along the west coast, which can lead to large underwater earthquakes that trigger tsunamis. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean is much deeper than the Atlantic Ocean, allowing tsunamis to travel faster and with more energy.
