GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -It extends all the way up the eastern coast of the United States and Canada. The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that carries warm water up the eastern coast of the United states and Canada and on to western Europe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Gulf Stream indeed contributes to Europe’s warmth, but it is wrong to conflate the climate difference across the North Atlantic with the northward flow of warm water in the Gulf Stream.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Gulf Stream is a powerful ocean current that brings warmer waters up from the Gulf of Mexico into the North Atlantic Ocean. It extends all the way up along the eastern coast of the United States, where it then turns towards northwest Europe.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean. It moves north along the coast of Florida and then turns eastward off of North Carolina, flowing northeast across the Atlantic.

Detailed explanation-5: -The seasonal ocean heat storage and pattern of atmospheric heat transport add up to make winters in western Europe 15 to 20 degrees C warmer than those in eastern North America. A very similar process occurs across the Pacific Ocean.
