What is the Canada/USA border referred to as?

  1. The Great Divide

  2. The International Boundary

  3. The world's longest undefended border

  4. The Friendly Border

The correct answer is: The world's longest undefended border

The Canada/USA border is not referred to as the Great Divide because this term typically refers to the crest of the Rocky Mountains, which forms the continental divide between North America's two principal drainage basins. The border is not referred to as the International Boundary simply because this is a generic term used for any border between two countries. Similarly, the Friendly Border is a nickname that some people use, but it is not the official name for the Canada/USA border. The Canada/USA border is commonly known as the world's longest undefended border because it is one of the only international borders in the world where military forces are not present on either side, making it a symbol of peaceful relations between the two countries.
