The United States has an extensive coastline that spans the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. Each of these regions exhibits unique geographical features and is influenced by factors such as tides, waves, and erosion. Renowned geographer Dr. James Hansen in his book 'Coasts of America' writes, 'The interaction between the ocean and the land creates diverse coastal landscapes, each with their own set of physical characteristics and ecological systems.' With reference to this context, explain how the coastal features of the Atlantic Ocean differ from those of the Pacific Ocean in the United States in terms of their formation and the impact of erosion.

The coastal features of the Atlantic Ocean in the United States are characterized by a broad, flat coastal plain, extensive sandy beaches, barrier islands, and marshes, while the coastal features of the Pacific Ocean are more rugged and mountainous, with cliffs, rocky shores, narrow beaches, sea stacks, and sea arches.

The coastal features of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the United States are characterized by cliffs, rocky shores, narrow beaches, sea stacks, and sea arches.
