The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in the United States, and is widely used in the United Kingdom, and Canada, despite the introduction of metric to the latter two in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively.
The Pacific Ocean meets the Atlantic south of South  America at Cape Horn, and over the North Pole (the ice-cap is only  floating sea-ice). In reality, the Pacific and Atlanâ¦tic Oceans only  exist as separate oceans because we agree to draw an imaginary line  that separates and divides them.
Europe sits to the east of the Atlantic Ocean, and south of the Arctic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean separates Europe from North America. The continent of Europe shares its eastern border with another continent. This giant land mass is. . .outh America. South America also lies between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. South America is attached to North America by a small strip of land. Just like North America, the continent of South America sits to the east of the Pacific Ocean, and to the west of the Atlantic Ocean.
