What ocean borders the state of Oregon?
With a coastline that stretches approximately 363 miles (584 km), Oregon is bounded by the Pacific Ocean. This ocean is double the size of the Atlantic Ocean, and contains twice the amount of water. The Pacific Coast Scenic Byway or Highway 101 traces the full Oregon Coastline along the Pacific Ocean. With the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, the Oregon coast looking out over the water is one of the most photographed areas in the United States.

Why did revelle and keeling choose the middle of the pacific for these measurements?
Keeling recognized that early measurements in England and France had been influenced locally by continental vegetation, and he found the same problem with his own early measurements along the west coast of the U.S.. Coastal weather systems were entraining the continental signal. So, with the goal of getting to a large volume of atmosphere, well-mixed, without a large amount of CO2 "signal" from land vegetation, he decided to measure in the middle of the Pacific, using shipboard measurements and island-based stations (Christmas and Fanning islands, and Hawaii). Atop Mauna Loa the mountain pokes through the "boundary layer", giving good sampling of well-mixed air over very large expanse. (When sampling is not upwind of the volcano, the monitor is shut off).
[For my Master's Thesis research with Keeling, I compared shipboard sampling in the Pacific against the island stations, to determine the effect of stochastic weather events. --Jusin Lancaster, Ph.D., 1990, Scripps Inst. Oceanography]
Compared to the Pacific Ocean does a cup of hot chocolate have a higher temperature?
hot chocolate, its made from boiling water.
the pacific ocean does not reach the temperature of boiling water, or no life would survive there.
What state bordering the Pacific Ocean has the most oceanfront?
Assuming you mean US states only, probably Alaska. Definitely Alaska if you count the shorelines of the Aleutian islands, and Alaska or maybe California otherwise, depending on how precisely you measure shoreline. For instance, you could take a map and measure the lengths of the shores drawn on it. To be more precise, you could take a bigger map. If you wanted to be perfectly precise you could take a tape measure to the coast and measure every little turn, but that would take far too long, so coastline measurements can easily vary by quite a bit.
What are 2 important ways that the Pacific Ocean affects the land and people of Washington?
