GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This strong current of warm water influences the climate of the east coast of Florida, keeping temperatures there warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the other southeastern states. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Gulf Stream affects the climate in Britain by bringing warm water from the Caribbean to North West Europe. This keeps the climate in Britain warmer than other places at a similar latitude.

Detailed explanation-3: -It affects weather in the U.S., too. By bringing so much warm water along the mid-Atlantic and southeastern states, it adds some warmth to the eastern coast of the U.S. The Gulf Stream also affects the paths of hurricanes, and their strength-they intensify as they draw up the heat from the warm water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Various lines of evidence suggest that Gulf Stream heat transport profoundly influences the climate of the entire Northern Hemisphere and, thus, Europe’s climate on timescales of decades and longer. The Gulf Stream’s influence is mediated through feedback processes between the ocean, atmosphere, and cryosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -For what is the Gulf Stream famous? Answer: The Gulf Stream is a powerful warm ocean current affecting the climate of eastern coast of North America and western coast of Europe and it is an important source of tidal energy.
