What is the closest ocean state to Wisconsin?

What is the width of the Atlantic ocean at it's narrowest point?
According to Wikipedia, the width of the Atlantic Ocean at its narrowest point is 2,848 kilometers (1,770 mi) between Brazil and Sierra Leone
In 1825 what canal was built to link the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean?
Well, its not really a canal but the St. Lawrence River connects with the great lakes with locks that raise up water and lower it down. This gets them to the atlantic ocean
Does Greenland touch the Atlantic Ocean?

Does New Hampshire have beaches along the Atlantic ocean?
Although most of the New Hampshire Atlantic coastline is rocky, there are sandy beaches at Hampton, Rye, and Wallis Sands.
True but nothing spectacular. They are often rocky but are better than no beach.
What will happen to the pacific ocean if the Atlantic ocean keeps getting wider?
The Atlantic will go on getting wider and wider, and will create a super ocean, but this will take many millions of years to happen.
Lets look at some of the figures.
The Mid Atlantic Ridge is widening the Atlantic Ocean by 0.4 to 4 inches (1 to 10 cms) a year. The average is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) a year.
Taking the fastest speed, 4 inches (10 cm), it will take over 15,000 years to widen one mile.
Multiply that by the width of the Pacific Ocean, 11,000 miles (17,700 km) at its widest point, and you are looking at 165,000,000 years for the Pacific Ocean to disappear.
Don't forget that I used the fastest speed of widening, if you use the average speed, you will have to multiply 165 million by 4.
Why might the Atlantic Ocean have appeared to shrink in the late 1930s?
The time between 1933 and 1934, the Atlantic Ocean experienced its highest temperature in history. This phenomenon caused the shrinking of the water of the Atlantic ocean.
What five continents have coasts along the Atlantic Ocean?
Europe, Africa, the two Americas (North and South) and Antarctica.
Is Atlantic ocean northern hemisphere?
The whole Arctic Ocean, but about half of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean are in the northern hemisphere.
Which coast of north America is the leeward coast and which is the windward coast?
If you count the jet stream then the prevailing winds are from West to East making the
the West coast the windward side. (This is of course given that the assumption is made over a period of time.) Not taking into account the jet stream, there have been numerious times when the honor has floated between each coast for prevailing winds.
So the real question, does it really matter?
What is the date of the Atlantic charter?
The text of the Joint Statement that was later to be called the "Atlantic Charter" was issued as a press release at 9:00 a.m. in Washington, DC, on August 14, 1941 as per explicit instructions from Franklin D. Roosevelt to his press secretary, Stephen Early. It is often reported that this is the date that it was signed. It was never signed by either FDR or Churchill, but you will still find August 14, 1941 given as the date it was signed. However, the approval of the Joint Statement was given on the British side on August 12, 1941, so their history books claimed that the Atlantic Charter was signed on August 12, 1941. Again, it was never signed by anyone. It never existed as a legal, dated, signed document. It was a press release of ideals. To his credit, Stephen Early was merely following Roosevelt's explicit instructions when he was told to say that the statement had been signed by both Roosevelt and Churchill. Copies of the telegram containing those explicit instructions still exist. The image that comes to most Americans' minds is of the WWII propaganda poster produced by the Office of War Information in 1943. It is OWI Poster No. 50; The Atlantic Charter.
