Pacific Ocean

Barbados is a Caribbean island which enjoys both the Caribbean Sea, primarily along the West Coast, and the Atlantic Ocean, primarily along the East Coast and North Coast. The South Coast is quite the invigorating blend of both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Alexander Mackenzie was the first.

The oceans are about 3.5% salt (by weight). Salinity is generally reported in terms of parts per thousand (abbreviated o/oo), the number of pounds of salt per 1,000 pounds of water; the average ocean salinity is 35 o/oo.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world at 155,557,000 sq km. Its deepest point is the Mariana Trench (Challenger Deep) at 11,033 metres. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world at 76,762,000 sq km. It is also the second deepest at the Puerto Rico Trench (Milwaukee Deep) at 8,648 metres.

Indian Ocean is warmest!

False

Hawaii

Nevada's border is closer to the Pacific Ocean.

If you are in sixth grade, do you get these questions off of something called Weekly Geography? I do. It totally stinks cause it takes so long!

The Pacific Ocean is on the west of North America.

Yes and so are many other oceans including the Atlantic and the Indian. A marine biome holds mant types of animals and vegetation. Coral is an ANIMAL not part of its vegetation or a plant. Another way of saying the marine biom is a salt water biiome. The opposite of a fresh water biom obviously. I'm happy to answer more questions!

• The rise of the Pacific Rim. .. A large proportion of earthquakes happen on the so-called Pacific "ring of fire", one of the most tectonically active regions in the world. In recent years, this region has been generally experiencing a rapid growth in population, infrastructure, and economic power. This means that (a) earthquakes here are more likely to hit heavily populated, built up areas than before; (b) the infrastructure is now good enough to get journalists quickly to the affected areas; and (c) news from this region is more important to Western countries than ever before. The net result of these factors is that coverage of the earthquakes in this region has increased dramatically, and has penetrated deeper into the conscious memory of Western viewers. Also, building practices in the Pacific Rim are of uneven quality, and this can often exacerbate the destruction.

There are seven, not six. Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica Europe and Australia.

Some say there are six because they tend to put South & North America together.

:D

North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica are all touch by the Pacific.

All around the edge of the Pacific Ocean the oceanic crust is being forced down under the continents bordering the Pacific. As the oceanic crust is forced deeper it gets hot and starts to melt, heat rises and makes its way to the surface forming a volcano.

Los Angeles is literally on the coast, so no distance at all. Obviously there are places in Los Angeles that are not actually touching the ocean, but looking at a map it appears that the furthest it's possible to be from the ocean and still be within LA city limits is a region in the northeastern corner of the city that is roughly 25-30 miles from the ocean. Downtown LA is about ten miles from the coast.

Ocean

The Southwest part of the US is usually considered to be Arizona, parts of Texas, etc- in the South-western part of the country. Hawaii is off the continental US, so it is not considered SW. If you are referring to it's location on the world map, it is located roughly off the South Western coast.

Mount Everest 29,035 feet: tallest mountain on Earth. Marianas Trench 36,201 feet: deepest part of ocean on Earth. Maximum depth of water mass is greater than maximum height of land mass. See: www.earthmatrix.com

No, The pacific is separated from the Atlantic by the Isthmus of Panama (a strip of land essentially connecting North and South America - south of Belize)

Nothing, it is an arbitrarily made up line.

You would think there would be a definite answer to this question, but sometimes "North America" is used politically to refer to only Canada and the US, other times it includes Mexico and Greenland. Physically, the continent includes the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. So, depending on what definition you are using the answer could be 2 (Canada and the US) or 9 (all the countries above except Greenland and Belize).
