What is located on the borders of th continental contiguous united states?
The Atlantic Ocean borders the continental contiguous United States on the east; the Pacific Ocean is on the west; the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico are on the south; and Canada is to the north. The border between Canada and the United States is the longest unfortified border in the world. This is an indication of the friendly relations between the two countries. The Texas part of the border between Mexico and the United States includes the Rio Grande River. It has been advantageous to the United States to have oceans on two sides and a gulf on part of a third side. There are several reasons why it has been advantageous, including protection from enemies, possibilities for oceanic trade, and access to marine resources — not to mention the beautiful beaches.
