A warm ocean current that alters weather patterns?
The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the eastern coast of North America towards Europe. It helps maintain Europe's relatively mild climate by bringing warm water and air to the region. The Gulf Stream also influences weather patterns and can impact precipitation and temperature in areas it flows through.
What is the major influence on the climate of Ireland?
The Gulf Stream, a warm current bringing water from the Gulf of Mexico up to the shores of Western Europe.
What moderates much of the air temperature over northwestern Europe?
The North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream, moderates much of the air temperature over northwestern Europe. This warm ocean current brings heat from the Gulf of Mexico towards Europe, creating a milder climate and preventing extreme temperature fluctuations.
What ocean current dictates nc's climate?
The warm waters of the Gulf Stream ocean current largely determines the weather of North Carolina.
Which ocean current has the greatest influence on the climate of California?
The rather unimaginatively named "California current".
Why does Europe have a mild climate?
The North Atlantic Drift, a current of warm water from the tropics, flows near Europe's west coast. The prevailing westerlies, which blow west to east, pick up warmth from this current and carry it over Europe. They also carry moisture, giving the region adequate rainfall.
