<h2>Answer: The Gulf of Mexico
</h2>
The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin that formed after the collision of the continental plates and the sinking of the seabed during the rupture of the former Pangea mega continent millions of years ago.
This gulf is also the ninth largest water surface in the world, which is contained among the littorals of Mexico, the United States and the island of Cuba. Therefore, this mass of water corresponds to the Atlantic Ocean in the northern part of the American Continent.
Asthenosphere is the answer of this question. It best describes the all above mention properties.
Asthenosphere is the the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
I will say distance from the sea, ocean currents, direction of prevailing winds
