Explanation:

Analyze the geographical borders of the United States

Using the North American Demographics knowledge point, we examine the coastlines of the United States. The contiguous United States is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Additionally, the state of Alaska is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south and west. Thus, the US borders the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.

Analyze the geographical borders of Canada

Canada is the second-largest country by land area and has the longest coastline in the world. It is bordered by three oceans: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north.

Identify the shared bordering oceans

Comparing the oceans that border both nations:

• Atlantic Ocean: Borders both (Eastern US and Eastern Canada).
• Pacific Ocean: Borders both (Western US/Alaska and Western Canada).
• Arctic Ocean: Borders both (Northern Alaska in the US and Northern Canada).

Therefore, both the United States and Canada are bordered by the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.
