The East Coast is a low-relief, passive margin coast.[1]
In 2010, the population of the East Coast states, extending from Maine to Florida, was estimated at 112,642,503 (36% of the country's total population).[2] The seaboard is susceptible to hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricane season, officially running from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can occur before or after these dates.[3]
The primary Interstate Highway along the East Coast is Interstate 95.[4] The East Coast, from Norfolk, Virginia to Miami, Florida is connected by the Intracoastal Waterway, also known as the East Coast Canal, which was completed in 1912.[5][6]
