Explanation

The Gulf Stream is a powerful warm Atlantic Ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico. It flows northeast along the North American coast, then crosses the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe. This current transports warm tropical waters northward, significantly moderating the climate of Western Europe and affecting weather patterns on both sides of the Atlantic.
