    because if the ocean and shore were not next to each other there would be a vacuum of space between the water and the regular land...also we would need the shore somewhere and if it were inland there would be no way to go surfing at the beach because there would be no water.

    Because you cannot have an ocean without a shore.

    All objects have borders. The shore is the border of the sea.
