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.
The Pacific Ocean is located between Americas to the East of the Pacific Ocean basin and the Asian and Australian continents to the West. The Equator divides the Pacific Ocean into the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean.
