What is the ocean current that affects Britain's climate?
The Gulf Stream
What controls the climate of Great Britain?
The climate of Great Britain is moderated by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream (warm) current that flows up past Britain.
Great Britain would have a much colder climate than it does if not for the?
gulf stream
What is one likely explanation why Iceland is so much more temperate than Greenland?
Like Britain Iceland benefits from the warm water of the Gulf Stream making it mild for its latitude.
Why is Iceland warm?
Iceland is warmer than Britain and the rest of Europe mainly, because it's in the direct path of the jet stream. Britain and Europe is bypassed, because they're large landmasses. the ocean current from the North and Baltic seas and also the Arctic Ocean cool Britain and France. Iceland is particularly small, so the jet stream can't avoid it. The jet stream brings warm air from the Caribbean and other equatorial regions all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Iceland also has extreme underground geothermal activity. As it is widely known, Iceland's energy is largely supplemented by geothermal vents on the actual landmass. That also has a small, yet adverse affect on the climate of Iceland.
The what keeps the climate of Great Britain warmer than it would normally be?
The warm current known as the Gulf Stream keeps the climate of Britain mild.
What provides great Britain with a moderate climate how?
It provides them from the golf stream, it brings warmer water from the Caribbeans area
What ocean current contributes to Iceland's climate?
The Gulf Stream, originating in the Gulf of Mexico, passing the US east coast, crossing the Atlantic in a northwesterly direction is responsible for the temperate climate of coastal northern Europe.
What is icelands climate?
Iceland, located at 63-67°N and 18-23°W, has considerably milder climate than its location just south of the Arctic Circle would imply. A branch of the Gulf Stream, the Irminger Current, flows along the southern and the western coast greatly moderating the climate. The cold East Greenland Current flows west of Iceland, but a branch of that current, the East Icelandic Current, approaches Iceland's northeast- and east coasts.
What bring warm water to Iceland?
gulf stream
How is Britain's climate described?
Britain's climate is described as maritime, characterized by mild temperatures, frequent cloud cover, and moderate rainfall throughout the year. The climate is influenced by the Gulf Stream, which brings warmer air to the region, resulting in less extreme temperature variations compared to other areas at similar latitudes.
Why does the Gulf Stream heat Great Britain?
The Gulf Stream is a current of warm water that has enough warmth left after crossing the Atlantic Ocean to make the climate of the UK mild and wet. If the current ever changed course, and missed the UK entirely, the climate of the UK would change.
