Oceans consist of mainly liquid (salt water of various salinities) but also contain the solid form (ice) which is fresh water, and the air above the water contains a gaseousform, water vapor, also fresh water which has evaporated from the surface.

*There is also water vapor (steam) around heated vents on the ocean floor that are associated with volcanic fissures.

Are there three oceans surrounding the US?

Sort of. The 50 states touch three oceans, the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The "lower 48" states, also known as the contiguous United States have the Atlantic Ocean on the East and Pacific Oceans on the West. The Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean and that is to the south. Alaska has the Arctic Ocean on the north and Pacific Ocean on the south. So the technically the three oceans do not "surround" the United States, but there are three oceans that border the United States.
