@unitedstatesirl: The contiguous United States has a distinctive shape, stretching across North America from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. Its borders are largely defined by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Its outline includes relatively straight sections, particularly along the western and southern borders, contrasting with the irregular coastline along the Atlantic and Pacific. Alaska and Hawaii, located outside the contiguous territory, complete the country’s 50-state geography. #countriesirl
