The United States is bordered by how many oceans?

Ron Miller, the Caribbean is a sea, not an ocean.

Ron Miller, if it was an OCEAN

Lisa Dolan Newman, really you need the answer spelling out too. As a non American the answer was obvious. That's because we look at the US as a whole not in bits like Americans seem to do.

Doesn't Puerto Rico and the Caribbean count?

Making people think. Good question. Could do without the mean comments though.

I blew it but i love reading all the losers that cant believe that they blew it

Frank Sheahan, united states are 50 states. Not 48. Both Alaska and Hawaii is a part of it. You uneducated americans!

Kime Jones, Still no. Puerto Rico is a Territory not a state.

Kime Jones, if you included Puerto Rico you would have to also include Guam and other US territories in the Pacific. Make sense?

Whoops forgot about Alaska

I hate those trick questions. Most people think only of the contiguous States.

I lucked out with (3), was thinking of Gulf of Mexico (Dummy, that’s a Gulf)! Lol

Oh good grief, People! The United States 🇺🇸 is bordered by 3...get it, 3 Oceans 🌊 They include the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast...the Pacific Ocean, on the West Coast, (It also surrounds our 50th State, Hawai'i) and the Arctic Ocean, which borders our 49th State, which is Alaska! The Caribbean is a SEA not an OCEAN, and The Gulf of Mexico is NOT an Ocean, but an Ocean basin and a marginal Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, which borders Alabama, Florida, Louisiana Mississippi, and Texas (and also the country of Mexico 🇲🇽) I think, by reading all these comments, that, at least, 80% of you need to read up on your Geography, since you don't seem to know the difference between an Ocean and a Sea, or a State and a Territory, and that there are a total of 50 States, which include the 48 Contiguous States and the 2 States that are not attached to the rest of the USA! Sheesh! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Karyn Limon Whitemaine...The Gulf of Mexico is an Ocean basin and a marginal Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, largely surrounded by the North American continent.

Wynny Bain...The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin and a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, largely surrounded by the North American continent.

Eddy Perry, Nikki Proctor, Nellie Lambert, Ron Southart, Chris Adams, Maria R. Valenzuela de Spielberger...Last time I checked, Alaska was STILL part of the United States 🇺🇸, as is Hawai'i (both receiving Statehood, in 1959...Alaska 49th...Hawai'i 50th) Alaska is bordered by the Arctic Ocean, so therefore, there are 3 Oceans 🌊 that border the United States. Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific! The Caribbean is a Sea, not an Ocean, and The Gulf of Mexico is an Ocean basin and a marginal Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, largely surrounded by the North American continent.

Nanu Saitta, jccc, Kathy Maloney, Barbara Franklin...It didn't say CONTIGUOUS United States 🇺🇸 It said UNITED STATES, which also includes Alaska (which is bordered by the Pacific and Arctic Oceans) and Hawai'i, (which is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean!

Wilbur Hargreaves...I believe that Alaska is still part of the United States, right? Alaska is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and also by the Arctic Ocean, therefore, the United States 🇺🇸 IS bordered by 3 Oceans 🌊. The Arctic, the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Guillermo Barron...The Gulf of Mexico 🇲🇽 is NOT an Ocean. The Gulf of Mexico is an Ocean basin and a marginal Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, largely surrounded by the North American continent. The question asked how many Oceans border the United States 🇺🇸 Answer 3. Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific.

Tom M. Haynes...The Caribbean is a Sea, not an Ocean...That's why it's called the "Caribbean Sea" and not the "Caribbean Ocean"
